X-Reader

Read any Twitter/X content -- tweets, threads, and long-form articles.

Strategy

X/Twitter URL received?
├── Simple tweet or Article → fxtwitter API (fast, free, no login-wall):
│   web_fetch "https://api.fxtwitter.com/<user>/status/<id>"
│   (For Articles: Check tweet.article.content.blocks[] for Draft.js content)
│
├── Medium Article → web_fetch (direct) or Freedium (fallback):
│   web_fetch "https://medium.com/<url>"
│   If teaser only: web_fetch "https://freedium.cfd/medium.com/<url>"
│
├── Thread (Full) → Playwright (via web-scraper):
│   node skills/web-scraper/scripts/scrape.js "<url>" --wait 5000
│
└── All methods fail → Ask user to paste or screenshot

Methods

1. fxtwitter API (Speed & Efficiency)

Best for single tweets and X Articles. No API key needed.

Normal Tweets: Use tweet.text, tweet.author.name, etc.
X Articles: Look into tweet.article.content.blocks[]. Map header-two to ## and unstyled to paragraph.

2. oEmbed API (Legacy fallback)

web_fetch "https://publish.twitter.com/oembed?url=https://x.com/user/status/123"

3. Medium (Client-side Paywall bypass)

Medium paywalls are often client-side JS only. Raw web_fetch often gets the full HTML.

Fallback (Freedium): Rewrite medium.com to freedium.cfd/medium.com.

4. Playwright (Reliability fallback)

For complex threads or when API methods fail.

node skills/web-scraper/scripts/scrape.js "<url>" --wait 5000

URL Detection

Recognize X/Twitter/Medium links:

https://x.com/<user>/status/<id>
https://twitter.com/<user>/status/<id>
https://x.com/i/article/<id>
https://medium.com/<author>/<article-slug>

Depends On

web-scraper -- Playwright rendering engine
