About This Skill
What it does
The X Scraper skill extracts recent posts and engagement data (views, likes, retweets, replies) from X.com (formerly Twitter) for a given username. It utilizes authenticated cookies to access user data and outputs the scraped information in a JSON format. This allows AI agents to gather specific X.com post history programmatically.
When to use it
- Monitor recent activity of a particular X.com user.
- Collect posts from an X.com account for analysis or archiving.
- Track engagement metrics (likes, retweets, replies) on X.com posts.
- Respond to requests like "整理 @某人 最近的发言" or "看看某人在X上说了什么".
Key capabilities
- Extracts recent X.com posts.
- Retrieves full engagement data: views, likes, retweets, and replies.
- Uses authenticated cookies for access.
- Outputs data in JSON format with fields like
postLink,publishTime,views,likes,retweets, andreplies. - Supports specifying the number of posts to retrieve.
Example prompts
- "Scrape X.com posts from @example_user."
- "Get the latest 15 tweets from example_user."
- "整理 @某人 最近的发言" (Summarize recent posts by a user)
Tips & gotchas
- Prerequisites: Requires Python 3.11+, Playwright, and a cookie file (
/tmp/x_cookies_pw.json). Ensure these are installed before use; see the skill's documentation for setup instructions. - Cookie File: The script requires an authenticated cookie file to access X.com data. You will need to obtain this separately.
- Output Format: Engagement metrics (views, likes, retweets, replies) are abbreviated using K and M suffixes.
