# X/Twitter by @altf1be

Post tweets, threads, and media to X/Twitter via the X API v2 with secure OAuth 1.0a signing.

## Setup

1. Get API keys from https://developer.x.com
2. Set environment variables (or create `.env` in `{baseDir}`):

```
X_CONSUMER_KEY=your-api-key
X_CONSUMER_SECRET=your-api-secret
X_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-access-token
X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=your-access-token-secret
```

3. Install dependencies: `cd {baseDir} && npm install`

## Commands

```bash
# Verify connection
node {baseDir}/scripts/xpost.mjs verify

# Post a tweet
node {baseDir}/scripts/xpost.mjs tweet "Hello from OpenClaw! 🦞"

# Post with image
node {baseDir}/scripts/xpost.mjs tweet "Check this out!" --media ./screenshot.png

# Reply to a tweet
node {baseDir}/scripts/xpost.mjs tweet "Great point!" --reply 1234567890

# Post a thread (inline)
node {baseDir}/scripts/xpost.mjs thread "First tweet" "Second tweet" "Third tweet"

# Post a thread (from file, tweets separated by ---)
node {baseDir}/scripts/xpost.mjs thread --file ./thread.md
```

## Thread file format

Create a file with tweets separated by `---`:

```
🚀 Announcing something cool!

## Security

- OAuth 1.0a user context signing (no app-only auth for write operations)
- No credentials printed to stdout
- API calls use pure Node.js `fetch` + built-in `node:crypto` (no third-party HTTP or OAuth libraries)
- Minimal dependencies: only `commander` (CLI framework) and `dotenv` (env loading)
