# Xitter Φ X/Twitter via x-cli Use `x-cli` for official X/Twitter API interactions from the terminal. This skill is for: - posting tweets, replies, and quote tweets - searching tweets and reading timelines - looking up users, followers, and following - liking and retweeting - checking mentions and bookmarks This skill intentionally does not vendor a separate CLI implementation into IO. Install and use upstream `x-cli` instead. ## Important Cost / Access Note X API access is not meaningfully free for most real usage. Expect to need paid or prepaid X developer access. If commands fail with permissions or quota errors, check your X developer plan first. ## Install Install upstream `x-cli` with `uv`: ```bash uv tool install git+https://github.com/Infatoshi/x-cli.git ``` Upgrade later with: ```bash uv tool upgrade x-cli ``` Verify: ```bash x-cli --help ``` ## Credentials You need these five values from the X Developer Portal: - `X_API_KEY` - `X_API_SECRET` - `X_BEARER_TOKEN` - `X_ACCESS_TOKEN` - `X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET` Get them from: - https://developer.x.com/en/portal/dashboard ### Why does X need 5 secrets? Unfortunately, the official X API splits auth across both app-level and user-level credentials: - `X_API_KEY` + `X_API_SECRET` identify your app - `X_BEARER_TOKEN` is used for app-level read access - `X_ACCESS_TOKEN` + `X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET` let the CLI act as your user account for writes and authenticated actions So yes Φ it is a lot of secrets for one in
