|
||
twitter feed # Home timeline (For You)
|
||
twitter feed -t following # Following timeline
|
||
twitter feed --max 50 # Limit count
|
||

|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||
twitter search "keyword"
|
||
twitter search "AI agent" -t Latest --max 50
|
||
twitter search "机器学习" --json

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Write Operations
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
twitter post "Hello from twitter-cli!" # Post tweet
|
||
twitter post "reply text" --reply-to 1234567890 # Reply
|
||
twitter delete 1234567890 # Delete tweet
|
||
twitter like 1234567890 # Like
|
||
twitter unlike 1234567890 # Unlike
|
||
twitter retweet 1234567890 # Retweet
|
||
twitter unretweet 1234567890 # Unretweet
|
||
twitter bookmark 1234567890 # Bookmark
|
||
twitter unbookmark 1234567890 # Unbookmark
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## JSON / Scripting
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
twitter feed --json > tweets.json
|
||
twitter feed --input tweets.json
|
||
twitter user-posts elonmusk --json | jq '.[0].text'
|
||
twitter search "keyword" --json | jq 'length'
|
||
twitter search "topic" -o results.json
|
||
twitter likes elonmusk -o likes.json
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Ranking Filter
|
||
|
||
Filtering is opt-in (disabled by default). Enable with `--filter`.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
twitter feed --filter
|
||
twitter bookmarks --filter
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The scoring formula:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
score = likes_w * likes
|
||
+ retweets_w * retweets
|
||
+ replies_w * replies
|
||
+ bookmarks_w * bookmarks
|
||
+ views_log_w * log10(max(views, 1))
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Configure weights and mode in `config.yaml`.
|
||
|
||
## Common Patterns for AI Agents
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Get latest tweets from a user
|
||
twitter user-posts elonmusk --max 5 --json
|
||
|
||
# Search and export for analysis
|
||
twitter search "topic" --json > results.json
|
||
|
||
# Check user profile
|
||
twitter user elonmusk --json
|
||
|
||
# Daily reading workflow
|
||
twitter feed -t following --filter
|
||
twitter bookmarks --filter
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Error Handling
|
||
|
||
- `No Twitter cookies found` — login to `x.com` in Arc/Chrome/Edge/Firefox/Brave, or set env vars.
|
||
- `Cookie expired or invalid (HTTP 401/403)` — re-login to `x.com` and retry.
|
||
- `Twitter API error 404` — queryId rotation, retry the command (client has live fallback).
|
||
|
||
## Safety Notes
|
||
|
||
- Write operations have built-in random delays (1.5–4s) to avoid rate limits.
|
||
- TLS fingerprint and User-Agent are automatically matched to the Chrome version used.
|
||
- Do not ask users to share raw cookie values in chat logs.
|
||
- Prefer local browser cookie extraction over manual secret copy/paste.
|
||
- If auth fails with 401/403, ask the user to re-login to `x.com`.
