Details

From the project README

xurl

Use xurl for X API work. Shortcut commands return JSON; raw mode works for any v2 endpoint.

Auth

  • ~/.xurl holds tokens; check auth with xurl auth status instead of reading it.
  • Pass secrets to auth commands through the prompt, not inline, so they stay out of shell history.
  • --verbose prints auth headers into tool output.

Common shortcuts

xurl post "Hello world!"
xurl reply POST_ID "Nice."
xurl quote POST_ID "My take"
xurl delete POST_ID
xurl read POST_ID
xurl search "query" -n 20
xurl whoami
xurl user @handle
xurl timeline -n 20
xurl mentions -n 10
xurl like POST_ID
xurl unlike POST_ID
xurl repost POST_ID
xurl unrepost POST_ID
xurl bookmark POST_ID
xurl unbookmark POST_ID
xurl followers -n 20
xurl following -n 20
xurl follow @handle
xurl unfollow @handle
xurl block @handle
xurl unblock @handle
xurl mute @handle
xurl unmute @handle
xurl dm @handle "message"
xurl dms -n 10

POST_ID can be a full https://x.com/<user>/status/<id> URL.

Media

xurl media upload image.jpg
xurl media upload clip.mp4
xurl media status MEDIA_ID
xurl post "caption" --media-id MEDIA_ID

Videos may need processing; poll media status.

Auth/app management

xurl auth status
xurl auth apps list
xurl auth default
xurl auth default APP_NAME USERNAME
xurl auth apps remove APP_NAME

Per request:

xurl --app APP_NAME /2/users/me
xurl --auth oauth2 /2/users/me

Raw API

xurl /2/users/me
xurl -X POST /2/tweets -d '{"text":"Hello world!"}'
xurl '/2/tweets/search/recent?query=openclaw&max_results=10'

Use raw mode when shortcuts do not cover the endpoint. Keep payloads in temp files for complex JSON.

Output and errors

  • JSON stdout on success.
  • Non-zero exit on API/auth/network errors.
  • 401/403: auth, scope, or app mismatch; check xurl auth status.
  • 429: rate limited; back off.
  • Media upload failures: check file type/size and media processing status.
