description: Use the local twitter-cli fork with cookies.txt authentication for reading or writing Twitter/X data. Trigger on Twitter/X CLI work, tweet lookups, timeline reads, posting, or account-specific cookie-file auth flows where TWITTER_COOKIE_FILE should be set per command for multi-account use.

# Twitter CLI (cookie-file, multi-account)
|
|
|
|
Use the local fork in `/root/projects/twitter-cli`.
|
|
|
|
## Rules
|
|
|
|
- Prefer `TWITTER_COOKIE_FILE=/path/to/cookies.txt` per command.
|
|
- Do not pin a default account in repo config.
|
|
- Keep commands account-specific so switching accounts is just swapping the env var.
|
|
- Activate the repo venv before using `twitter`.
|
|
|
|
## Basic pattern
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /root/projects/twitter-cli
|
|
. .venv/bin/activate
|
|
TWITTER_COOKIE_FILE=/path/to/account.cookies.txt twitter whoami --json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
TWITTER_COOKIE_FILE=/path/to/account.cookies.txt twitter tweet 2051661976330269086 --json
|
|
TWITTER_COOKIE_FILE=/path/to/account.cookies.txt twitter user Space_Banane --json
|
|
TWITTER_COOKIE_FILE=/path/to/account.cookies.txt twitter post "hello world"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- The fork already supports Netscape-format `cookies.txt` via `TWITTER_COOKIE_FILE`.
|
|
- Repo: `https://gitea.reversed.dev/luna/twitter-cli-cookiefile`
|
|
- If auth fails, verify the cookie file still contains fresh `auth_token` and `ct0` values for the target account.
