read-x（读 x）

Read X

Fetch full content from X/Twitter posts and articles — no API key, no auth, no browser needed.

How It Works

Use the FxTwitter API — a public, no-auth API that returns full tweet JSON including embedded articles, media, and engagement stats.

Endpoint

https://api.fxtwitter.com/{username}/status/{tweet_id}

When to Use

• User shares an x.com or twitter.com URL
• User asks to read/summarize an X post or article
• User shares a thread or long-form X article

When NOT to Use

• User just wants to post/reply on X (this is read-only)
• URL is not a post (e.g., x.com/username profile page)

How to Fetch

Use web_fetch on the fxtwitter URL:

web_fetch: https://api.fxtwitter.com/{username}/status/{tweet_id}

Extracting from the URL

Given: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1234567890

• username: elonmusk
• tweet_id: 1234567890
• API URL: https://api.fxtwitter.com/elonmusk/status/1234567890

Response Structure

The API returns JSON with:

• tweet.text — tweet text
• tweet.author — author info (name, handle, followers, bio)
• tweet.likes, tweet.retweets, tweet.views — engagement
• tweet.article — full long-form article content (if present)

- tweet.article.title — article title - tweet.article.content.blocks[] — article body (block-based, like Draft.js) - Each block has text, type (unstyled, header-two, blockquote, atomic), and inlineStyleRanges (Bold, Italic)

• tweet.media — attached images/videos
• tweet.replying_to — if it's a reply, who it's replying to

Rendering Articles

When tweet.article exists, render it as clean markdown:

• header-two → ## heading
• blockquote → > quote
• Bold inline style → **bold**
• Italic inline style → *italic*
• atomic with DIVIDER entity → ---
• Links in entityMap → [text](url)

Limitations

• Read-only (no posting, liking, replying)
• Some tweets may be unavailable (deleted, protected accounts)
• Rate limits exist but are generous for casual use
• Threads: each tweet is a separate request (follow replying_to chain)
