version: "1.0.0" name: twitter description: "Fetch a SPECIFIC Twitter/X tweet, article, thread, profile, or timeline by URL/id via the SocialData API. Use when: a Twitter link, read a known tweet, check a profile, read a thread. For SEARCH / discovery / 'what's trending in a niche', use the x-research skill (Grok Live Search) instead — this skill is fetch-only." user-invocable: true argument-hint: "<twitter-url>"
Twitter / X Reader (SocialData)
Fetch a SPECIFIC tweet, article, thread, profile, or timeline by URL/id.
Search / discovery / radar / "what's viral" → use thex-researchskill (Grok Live Search), NOT this one. This skill is fetch-by-url/id only.
What handles what
| Task | Source | |
|---|---|---|
| Single tweet, profile | SocialData | |
| Article, thread, timeline, comments | SocialData | |
| Search / discovery / radar | `x-research` skill (Grok) — not this skill |
Setup
bash
# SocialData API key (register at https://socialdata.tools)echo 'your-key' > ~/.claude-lab/shared/secrets/socialdata-api-keySOCIALDATA_API_KEY=$(cat ~/.claude-lab/shared/secrets/socialdata-api-key)
Single Tweet
bash
# https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1234567890 -> tweet_id = 1234567890curl -sS "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/tweets/1234567890" \-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALDATA_API_KEY"
User Profile
bash
curl -sS "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/elonmusk" \-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALDATA_API_KEY"
Thread
bash
curl -sS "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/thread/TWEET_ID" \-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALDATA_API_KEY"
X Article (long-form)
bash
# 1. Get the tweet, find article_id in entities.urls (x.com/i/article/{article_id})# 2. Fetch the article:curl -sS "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/article/ARTICLE_ID" \-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALDATA_API_KEY"
User Timeline (needs user_id, not username)
bash
USER_ID=$(curl -sS "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/elonmusk" \-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALDATA_API_KEY" | python3 -c "import json,sys;print(json.load(sys.stdin)['id'])")curl -sS "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/user/$USER_ID/tweets" \-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALDATA_API_KEY"
Search (prefer x-research)
For search/discovery use the x-research skill (Grok). SocialData search is kept only for precise Advanced-Search-operator queries that need a raw tweet list:
bash
curl -sS "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/search" \-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALDATA_API_KEY" \-G -d "query=from:elonmusk AI agents" -d "type=Latest"
Comments on a tweet
bash
curl -sS "https://api.socialdata.tools/twitter/tweets/TWEET_ID/comments" \-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALDATA_API_KEY"
Error Handling
| Code | Meaning | Action | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 404 | Tweet deleted or private | Inform user | |
| 401 | Bad API key | Check SocialData key | |
| 429 | Rate limited | Wait and retry |
