Twitter Send Skill

Twitter Send Tool

Post and interact with tweets on Twitter/X via X API v2.

How It Works

This skill provides instructions for the Twitter Send tool node. Connect the Twitter Send node to an AI Agent's input-tools handle to enable posting and interactions.

All actions use OAuth 2.0 user context with automatic token refresh on expiry (tokens last 2 hours).

twitter_send Tool

Send tweets, replies, retweets, likes, and deletions.

Schema Fields

Actions

Examples

Post a tweet:

{
  "action": "tweet",
  "text": "Hello Twitter! This is my first automated tweet."
}

Reply to a tweet:

{
  "action": "reply",
  "text": "Thanks for sharing this!",
  "reply_to_id": "1234567890123456789"
}

Create a thread (chain of replies): First post:

{
  "action": "tweet",
  "text": "Thread: Here are 3 tips for better code (1/3)"
}

Then reply to the returned tweet ID for each subsequent post:

{
  "action": "reply",
  "text": "Tip 1: Write tests first (2/3)",
  "reply_to_id": "<id_from_first_tweet>"
}

Retweet:

{
  "action": "retweet",
  "tweet_id": "1234567890123456789"
}

Like a tweet:

{
  "action": "like",
  "tweet_id": "1234567890123456789"
}

Unlike a tweet:

{
  "action": "unlike",
  "tweet_id": "1234567890123456789"
}

Delete a tweet:

{
  "action": "delete",
  "tweet_id": "1234567890123456789"
}

Response Format

Tweet/Reply:

{
  "success": true,
  "result": {
    "id": "1234567890123456789",
    "text": "Hello Twitter!"
  },
  "execution_time": 0.45
}

Retweet:

{
  "success": true,
  "result": {
    "retweeted": true
  },
  "execution_time": 0.3
}

Like:

{
  "success": true,
  "result": {
    "liked": true
  },
  "execution_time": 0.25
}

Delete:

{
  "success": true,
  "result": {
    "deleted": true
  },
  "execution_time": 0.3
}

Error Response

{
  "success": false,
  "error": "Tweet text is required",
  "execution_time": 0.01
}

Guidelines

1. Character limit: Tweets are limited to 280 characters. The API will reject longer text.
2. Tweet IDs: Use the numeric ID string (e.g., 1234567890123456789). Get these from search results or user timelines.
3. Rate limits: X API has strict rate limits (see table above). Space out rapid actions.
4. Content policy: Follow X's content policies and terms of service.
5. Threading: Use reply action with reply_to_id set to the previous tweet's ID to create threads.
6. Token refresh: If a 401/403 error occurs, the system automatically refreshes the OAuth token and retries.
7. Retweet vs Quote: This tool only supports native retweets. For quote tweets, use tweet action and include the tweet URL in the text.

Common Use Cases

• Post automated updates and announcements
• Reply to mentions or specific tweets
• Like tweets matching certain criteria (found via twitter_search)
• Create tweet threads by chaining replies using returned IDs
• Engage with followers programmatically
• Delete tweets that match certain conditions

Setup Requirements

1. Connect the Twitter Send node to an AI Agent's input-tools handle
2. Ensure Twitter is connected (authenticated via OAuth in Credentials Modal)
3. Your X Developer account must have appropriate API access level
4. Required OAuth scopes: tweet.read, tweet.write, like.read, like.write, users.read, offline.access
