Try it

Set up API Anything for your agents:

npx -y api-anything setup

Then ask your agent, which finds this site by itself, or call it from a shell:

api-anything pull x
api-anything call x getProfile screen_name=nasa

Notes

No account is needed. No tweets.

  • An unknown handle returns input from both ops.
  • getProfile's title looks like "NASA (@NASA) on X".
  • getUser's avatar.image_url is the _normal (48 px) size. Replace _normal with _400x400 for a larger one.
  • getUser sends X's public bearer, which X could rotate. Then X answers 400 "Bad Authentication data" (code 215), and the call re-learns the bearer from the page (a browser run, once).

About these operations

Each operation is a request learned from X (Twitter)'s own web pages: API Anything replays it over plain HTTP and falls back to a browser when it must. Read them as JSON.
