X (Twitter) Scraper - Xquik
Overview
Gives AI agents X (Twitter) data and automation workflows through the Xquik platform. Covers tweet search, advanced Twitter search, profile tweets, user lookup, follower export, media download, posting, replies, DMs, giveaway draws, account monitoring, webhooks, 23 bulk extraction tools, MCP, official SDKs, the Hermes Tweet Hermes Agent plugin, and the TweetClaw OpenClaw plugin.
This repository entry is documentation-only: it does not include an executable scraper, binary, package, or vendored runtime code. The external Xquik, Hermes Tweet, and TweetClaw tools referenced below must be reviewed and installed separately before use.
Because this workflow can automate authenticated X/Twitter account actions, treat it as critical-risk guidance. Only use it with accounts and targets you are authorized to operate, and require explicit user approval before posting, replying, liking, reposting, following, unfollowing, sending DMs, creating monitors, registering webhooks, or starting bulk extraction.

- User wants the Hermes Tweet Hermes Agent plugin with
tweet_explore, tweet_read, and approval-gated tweet_action

Setup
Install the Skill
npx skills add Xquik-dev/x-twitter-scraper
Or clone manually into your agent's skills directory:
# Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/Xquik-dev/x-twitter-scraper.git .claude/skills/x-twitter-scraper
# Cursor / Codex / Gemini CLI / Copilot
git clone https://github.com/Xquik-dev/x-twitter-scraper.git .agents/skills/x-twitter-scraper
Use the Hermes Agent Plugin
For Hermes Agent runtime tools, install Hermes Tweet. It wraps the same Xquik API with tweet_explore for endpoint discovery, tweet_read for read-only calls, and approval-gated tweet_action for writes and private actions.
hermes plugins install Xquik-dev/hermes-tweet --enable
Use Hermes Tweet when a Hermes Agent should search Twitter/X, read tweet replies, look up users, export followers, monitor tweets, post tweets, post replies, send DMs, or automate X actions with explicit approval gates.
Use the OpenClaw Plugin
For OpenClaw runtime tools, install TweetClaw. It wraps the same Xquik API with explore for endpoint discovery and tweetclaw for approved calls.
openclaw plugins install @xquik/tweetclaw
Use TweetClaw when the agent should search tweets, post tweets, post replies, send DMs, export followers, download media, create monitors, deliver webhooks, or run giveaway draws from OpenClaw.
