SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you perform common X (Twitter) actions programmatically without hand-crafting HTTP requests, while still supporting raw API calls when you need full control.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Official X API CLI access: Use xurl to post, reply, quote, delete, and manage engagement (like/repost/bookmark) with JSON output to stdout.
  • Discovery workflows: Search posts, read timelines, and fetch user info/mentions to support research and engagement.
  • Messaging and media: Send DMs and upload images/videos (including checking media processing status).
  • v2 raw endpoint mode: Use curl-style commands to hit any X API v2 endpoint directly for advanced or niche operations.
