version: "1.0.0" name: xurl description: "xurl CLI for authenticated X posts, replies, reads/search, DMs, media upload, followers, auth status, or raw v2 API calls." metadata: { "openclaw": { "emoji": "🐦", "requires": { "bins": ["xurl"] }, "install": [ { "id": "brew", "kind": "brew", "formula": "xdevplatform/tap/xurl", "bins": ["xurl"], "label": "Install xurl (brew)", }, { "id": "npm", "kind": "node", "package": "@xdevplatform/xurl", "bins": ["xurl"], "label": "Install xurl (npm)", }, ], }, }

xurl

Use xurl for X API work. Shortcut commands return JSON; raw mode works for any v2 endpoint.

Secret safety

• Never read, print, summarize, upload, or inspect ~/.xurl.
• Never ask user to paste tokens/secrets into chat.
• Do not run auth commands with inline secrets.
• Do not use --verbose in agent sessions; it can expose auth headers.
• Check auth with xurl auth status.

Media

xurl media upload image.jpg
xurl media upload clip.mp4
xurl media status MEDIA_ID
xurl post "caption" --media-id MEDIA_ID

Videos may need processing; poll media status.

Auth/app management

xurl auth status
xurl auth apps list
xurl auth default
xurl auth default APP_NAME USERNAME
xurl auth apps remove APP_NAME

Per request:

xurl --app APP_NAME /2/users/me
xurl --auth oauth2 /2/users/me

Raw API

xurl /2/users/me
xurl -X POST /2/tweets -d '{"text":"Hello world!"}'
xurl '/2/tweets/search/recent?query=openclaw&max_results=10'

Use raw mode when shortcuts do not cover the endpoint. Keep payloads in temp files for complex JSON.

Output and errors

• JSON stdout on success.
• Non-zero exit on API/auth/network errors.
• 401/403: auth, scope, or app mismatch; check xurl auth status.
• 429: rate limited; back off.
• Media upload failures: check file type/size and media processing status.
