x-twitter-scraperX API & Twitter scraper skill for AI coding agents. An agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates.
X Twitter Scraper is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. X API & Twitter scraper skill for AI coding agents. Builds integrations with the Xquik REST API, MCP server & webhooks: tweet search, user lookup, follower extraction, engagement metrics, giveaway contest draws, trending topics, account monitoring, reply/retweet/quote extraction, community & Space data, mutual follow checks. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Windsurf & 40+ agents.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Web scraping, Social media posts and Webhooks. It works with X (Twitter) and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c0ca7da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are javascript and json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
xquik.comx.comAlso links to:
docs.xquik.comgithub.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
API_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
X Twitter Scraper loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 538 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

X API & Twitter scraper skill for AI coding agents. An agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. X Twitter Scraper is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. X API & Twitter scraper skill for AI coding agents.
X Twitter Scraper fits situations like: tasks that involve Web scraping; tasks that involve Social media posts; tasks that involve Webhooks.
Run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill x-twitter-scraper -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-tool/components/skills/marketing/x-twitter-scraper in davila7/claude-code-templates) into .claude/skills/x-twitter-scraper in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill x-twitter-scraper -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-tool/components/skills/marketing/x-twitter-scraper in davila7/claude-code-templates) into .agents/skills/x-twitter-scraper in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill x-twitter-scraper -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/x-twitter-scraper, .gemini/skills/x-twitter-scraper, .github/skills/x-twitter-scraper and .opencode/skills/x-twitter-scraper in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, X Twitter Scraper needs credentials named API_KEY. Our summary lists: A credential in API_KEY.
SKILL.md names 4 domains. In commands or code: xquik.com and x.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: docs.xquik.com and github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
X Twitter Scraper is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
