What problem does it solve? Fetching an x.com or twitter.com status URL directly fails: WebFetch returns HTTP 402 with no body, and plain curl returns ~190KB of rate-limited HTML. This Skill retrieves the actual content of an X post through read-only embed APIs, returning a few hundred bytes of clean text without authentication or API keys. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Post Content Retrieval: Accepts an x.com/twitter.com status URL, fxtwitter/vxtwitter mirror URL, or bare numeric post id, and returns the post text, author, date, media URLs, poll results, and engagement metrics. - Quote-Repost Resolution: Automatically includes the quoted original post in the same call, indented under the quoting post, so no second fetch is needed. - Provider Fallback: Queries api.fxtwitter.com first and falls back to api.vxtwitter.com, so a single provider outage does not break the fetch. - Use Case: A user pastes a tweet link and asks what it says. Run the script with the URL to get the post text and any quoted original, then quote and attribute the content accurately in your response. ## Quick Start Run the fetch-x-post.sh script with the pasted X post URL to retrieve the post's text, metrics, and any quoted original as plain text.
