Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00162 | $0.02507 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00081 | $0.01254 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00501 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00251 |
Grade A, and why
twitter-api scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Twitter / X API
A drop-in Twitter/X data source for agents: search tweets, resolve profiles, pull timelines and followers, read Lists, and check trends — all as one plain HTTP GET, paid per call. No developer account, no app review, no OAuth handshake, and no waiting on X's own API tiers or rate-limit approvals. If your task mentions a Twitter/X search query, a handle, a tweet ID, or a list ID, this is the skill.
Base URL: https://twitter.fetcher.sh
Also published as x-api — same host, same
endpoints, indexed under the "X" name too since agents and users refer to the
platform both ways.
Quick reference
| Base URL | https://twitter.fetcher.sh |
| Auth | Authorization: Bearer bby_live_... or x402 (USDC) |
| Price | $0.002–$0.005/call |
| Endpoints | 15, all GET |
| MCP | https://twitter.fetcher.sh/mcp |
| Machine-readable | /openapi.json · /llms.txt · /skill.md |
Which endpoint do I need?
| I want to... | Call |
|---|---|
Search tweets by keyword or operator (from:, since:, min_faves:, ...) |
GET /api/search |
| Search accounts by name | GET /api/search/users |
| Look up a profile by @handle | GET /api/handle/{handle} |
| Get a user's followers or followings | GET /api/user/{id}/followers or /followings |
| Get a single tweet by ID | GET /api/tweet/{id} |
| See who retweeted a tweet | GET /api/tweet/{id}/retweeters |
| Read a Twitter List's tweets or members | GET /api/list/{id}/tweets or /members |
| Check trending topics for a country | GET /api/trends |

Authentication
Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the fetcher
skill:
# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
# or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
"https://twitter.fetcher.sh/api/search?query=hello"
# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
# with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
# Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
