X / Twitter Search (Exa)

Search posts on x.com / twitter.com via Exa. Calls the Exa REST API through a local script; no MCP server needed, only an EXA_API_KEY.

⚠️ Read this first — coverage is limited

Exa retired the tweet category, and X blocks most crawlers, so X/Twitter content is sparsely indexed. This skill:

filters results to x.com/twitter.com client-side (--only-domains), so you never get off-domain noise dressed up as tweets;
often returns few or zero results — that's expected, not a bug;
prints a clear note and fallback suggestions when empty.

For reliable social/sentiment coverage, treat this as best-effort and use the fallbacks below.

Setup (once)

export EXA_API_KEY=your-key            # or EXA_API_KEY=... in a .env at the repo root

Get a key at https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys. Shared details: exa-native-base.

Run it

python scripts/x_search.py "<topic / handle / thread>" [-n N] [--json]

Examples:

python scripts/x_search.py "Anthropic Claude launch reactions" -n 15
python scripts/x_search.py "founder thread lessons scaling startup" -n 15

The script forces --include-domains x.com,twitter.com and --only-domains x.com,twitter.com. If it returns sources_reviewed: 0, that's the coverage limit, not an error.

Fallbacks when X coverage is thin

Find discussion about the topic on the open web (Reddit, HN, blogs, news):

python ../exa-company-research/scripts/company_research.py "<topic> reaction analysis commentary" -c news -n 15
python ../exa-native-base/scripts/exa.py search "<topic> discussion hacker news reddit" -n 15
