Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-cpif3What This Skill Does
The x-trends skill provides OpenClaw agents with the capability to interface directly with the X (formerly Twitter) platform to retrieve real-time global and location-specific trending topics. By leveraging the official twurl utility and the openclaw-agent, this skill allows the agent to monitor, scrape, and analyze current hashtags and discourse. It bridges the gap between raw API data and actionable insights, enabling users to keep their finger on the pulse of internet culture, news, and viral phenomena without leaving the OpenClaw environment.
Installation
Installation requires a two-part setup process. First, ensure you have the openclaw-agent running as a background process; you can download the Windows executable from the project repository or execute the macOS terminal script provided in the documentation. Second, install the Twitter CLI tool by running gem install twurl. Once installed, you must authenticate the agent by providing your consumer keys and secrets via twurl authorize. Finally, install the skill into your workspace using the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-cpif3.
Use Cases
This skill is invaluable for social media managers tracking brand sentiment, journalists hunting for breaking news, or marketing professionals performing market research on emerging hashtags. It can be used to monitor trends in specific countries using WOEID (Where On Earth ID) codes, allowing for hyper-localized data analysis. Beyond just retrieving trends, the skill supports filtered search queries to find recent tweets containing specific media, or posts made by verified accounts, providing a robust toolkit for data-driven social analysis.
Example Prompts
- "What are the top 5 trending topics in Japan right now, and can you provide the hashtag names?"
- "Search for recent tweets containing #OpenAI that include media attachments."
- "Show me the current trending hashtags in the United Kingdom and explain if any have a high volume of tweets."
Tips & Limitations
Note that the skill relies on the Twitter API v1.1 for trend retrieval and v2 for search; stay mindful of rate limits, which are capped at 75 requests per 15-minute window. Not all trends will return a tweet_volume metric. Ensure your openclaw-agent is actively running before issuing commands, as the skill will fail to execute without this gateway. Use jq filters provided in the documentation to refine your outputs, keeping your workspace clean and data-focused.
