  • Flexible Output Formats: Offers multiple output formats including JSON, YAML, Markdown, CSV, and tables—making it easy for data analysis, report generation, or integration with LLMs.

  • Browser Session Reuse: Uses opencli’s Browser Bridge extension to reuse your Chrome login state. No Twitter API key is required, and there’s no need to manually extract cookies—ready to use out of the box.

    • Frequently Asked Questions

    Does Twitter Reader support posting tweets, liking, or retweeting?


    No. Twitter Reader is a read-only tool, specifically designed for finance research and information collection. It does not support any write operations, including posting, liking, retweeting, replying, following, or deleting. This ensures operational safety and data integrity during the research process.

    Do I need to apply for a Twitter API key?


    No. Twitter Reader uses opencli’s browser session reuse technology. You only need to log in to x.com in Chrome and install the Browser Bridge extension. This approach avoids the API application process, quota limitations, and key management, making it more suitable for individual research and lightweight data retrieval.

    Can I export tweet data as JSON or CSV?


    Yes. Twitter Reader supports multiple output formats. Use -f json to get structured JSON data for program processing, and -f csv to export into spreadsheet-compatible format. Each tweet typically includes fields such as ID, author, text content, timestamp, like count, view count, and URL—facilitating further data analysis.
