What it does
Twitterapi Io Read is an agent skill from kaitoInfra/twitterapi-io. Read-only skill for twitterapi.io — look up public X/Twitter data (tweets, user profiles, followers and followings, advanced search, replies, quotes, trends, lists, communities) through the twitterapi.io REST API with a single x-api-key header. Use when the user wants to search, analyze or monitor public posts and accounts. Read-only: no posting, no account login, no credentials beyond the API key.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Social media posts and REST APIs. It works with X (Twitter). The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to search
- Monitor public posts and accounts
Example prompts
- “/twitterapi-io-read”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in YOUR_KEY
- A credential in TWITTERAPI_IO_KEY
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c11e39a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
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.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
api.twitterapi.iomcp.twitterapi.io
Also links to:
twitterapi.iodeveloper.x.comdocs.twitterapi.io
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
TWITTERAPI_IO_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Twitterapi Io Read loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 398 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
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.

- description
- Read-only skill for twitterapi.io — look up public X/Twitter data (tweets, user profiles, followers and followings, advanced search, replies, quotes, trends, lists, communities) through the twitterapi.io REST API with a single x-api-key header. Use when the user wants to search, analyze or monitor public posts and accounts. Read-only: no posting, no account login, no credentials beyond the API key.
twitterapi.io (read-only)
Read-only skill maintained by the twitterapi.io team. It covers public X/Twitter data only: it never logs in to an X account, never handles cookies, passwords or proxies, and never posts, likes, follows or sends messages.
twitterapi.io is an independent third-party REST API for public X data, not affiliated with X Corp. If you need X's own API, the official one is at https://developer.x.com.
When to use this skill
- Search posts with X search operators (
from:,since_time:,min_faves:,lang:…) - Look up user profiles, followers, followings
- Get a user's recent posts, replies, quote posts, retweeters, thread context
- Trends, lists, communities
- Build dashboards, research datasets or monitoring jobs on public data
Core facts
| Base URL | https://api.twitterapi.io |
| Auth header | x-api-key: YOUR_KEY (from https://twitterapi.io/dashboard) |
| Docs | https://docs.twitterapi.io |
| Pricing | pay per call, see https://twitterapi.io/pricing |
| Hosted MCP server | https://mcp.twitterapi.io/mcp (12 read-only tools) |
Security
Read the API key from the environment variable TWITTERAPI_IO_KEY. Never hardcode it, print it or commit it. If it is missing, ask the user to create one on the dashboard.
Minimal example
curl -s "https://api.twitterapi.io/twitter/user/info?userName=jack" \
-H "x-api-key: $TWITTERAPI_IO_KEY"import os, requests
BASE = "https://api.twitterapi.io"
HEADERS = {"x-api-key": os.environ["TWITTERAPI_IO_KEY"]}
r = requests.get(f"{BASE}/twitter/tweet/advanced_search",
headers=HEADERS,
params={"query": "from:jack", "queryType": "Latest"},
timeout=30)
r.raise_for_status()
for t in r.json().get("tweets", []):
print(t["createdAt"], t["text"][:80])Read endpoints

Patterns
Pagination
List endpoints return has_next_page and next_cursor. Pass next_cursor back as cursor; stop when has_next_page is false. Always set a page limit so a bug can't page forever.
Errors
400→ a required parameter is missing or the search query is invalid (the responsedetailsays what to fix)401/403→ missing or wrongx-api-key402→ out of credits; stop and tell the user to top up (don't retry)429→ rate-limited; retry with backoff5xx→ transient; retry with backoff
Cost awareness
Each call is billed. Before a loop that could run long (all followers of a large account, months of search), estimate the number of calls and confirm with the user.
Anti-patterns
- Don't normalise parameter names; copy them from the table
- Don't retry on
402 - Don't log or commit the API key
