About opentwitter

The opentwitter skill provides seamless access to Twitter/X data through the 6551 platform REST API. It enables developers and analysts to programmatically retrieve user profiles, search tweets, monitor user activity, and track engagement metrics without dealing with Twitter's complex API authentication flow. By requiring only a single Bearer token, this skill simplifies the integration process while providing comprehensive access to Twitter's social graph and content.

This skill supports a wide range of Twitter operations including fetching user information by username or ID, retrieving recent tweets from specific users with customizable filters, and performing advanced tweet searches with multiple criteria. Users can filter results by engagement metrics (likes, retweets, replies), exclude certain content types, search by hashtags, and target specific users or conversations. The skill handles both profile-level data and tweet-level content, making it suitable for social media monitoring, sentiment analysis, and influencer research.

Ideal for data scientists conducting social media analysis, developers building Twitter integrations, marketers tracking brand mentions and competitor activity, and researchers studying online discourse patterns. The skill works across macOS, Linux, and Windows environments and only requires curl as a dependency, making it lightweight and easy to deploy in various development and production environments.
