Twitter Reader
This pulls down Twitter/X content without needing auth or dealing with JavaScript, which is handy when you want Claude to read a thread or article. The newer fetch_article.py script is the real win here: it grabs all the images from X Articles, downloads them locally, and builds proper Markdown with frontmatter and image references ready for your PKM setup. If you just need text, the Jina API route works fine. I like that it handles the annoying parts of archiving tweet content, especially the long-form articles where you actually want those embedded images saved alongside the text instead of dealing with dead links later.

Twitter Reader
Fetch Twitter/X post and article content with full media support.
Reading a single post's text: fxtwitter first (2026-08-30)
For plain post text, prefer the fxtwitter mirror API — login-free, key-free,
works direct, and returns the full note_tweet body in tweet.text (the
full_text key does not exist; a 2,324-char long-form announcement came back
complete):
curl -sS --max-time 20 "https://api.fxtwitter.com/<user>/status/<id>" \
| python3 -c "import json,sys; t=json.load(sys.stdin)['tweet']; print(t['created_at']); print(t['text'])"
replies is a count, not the reply thread. For X Articles with images, use
fetch_article.py below — fxtwitter does not carry article bodies.
X Articles with images: fetch_article.py
uv run --with pyyaml python scripts/fetch_article.py <article_url> [output_dir]
Example:
uv run --with pyyaml python scripts/fetch_article.py \
