FAQPage Schema
How do I check X (Twitter) trending topics automatically?

Use the OpenClaw browser tool to navigate to x.com/explore/tabs/trending, extract the trend entries from the page DOM, and summarize them into a list with position, topic, and post count. This skill defines that exact workflow.

Why does scraping X trends require a login cookie?

X blocks anonymous and bot traffic, redirecting unauthenticated sessions to a login screen. The skill detects this and asks you to provide your auth_token cookie from your browser's developer tools so the session can access the trending page.

Can I use web_search or web_fetch to get Twitter trends instead?

No, this skill explicitly avoids web_search and web_fetch because X is a dynamic site that requires session cookies and JavaScript rendering. The browser tool is the designated path for reliable extraction.

What should I do if the browser tool fails while reading X trends?

If the browser session closes or errors out, the skill instructs the agent to report the fatal error to the user in a friendly way rather than retrying blindly. Check that your X_BEARER_TOKEN or auth_token cookie is still valid.

Where is my X auth token stored after I provide it?

The skill directs the agent to save the token using the memory_save tool, or to have you place it in a .env file if the flow runs via a Bash script. It is not sent to any external service by this skill.
