We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

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//status/"
│ (For Articles: Check tweet.article.content.blocks[] for Draft.js content)
│
├── Medium Article → web_fetch (direct) or Freedium (fallback):
│ web_fetch "https://medium.com/"
│ If teaser only: web_fetch "https://freedium.cfd/medium.com/"
│
├── Thread (Full) → Playwright (via web-scraper):
│ node skills/web-scraper/scripts/scrape.js "" --wait 5000
│
└── All methods fail → Ask user to paste or screenshotMethods
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[]. Mapheader-twoto##andunstyledto 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.comtofreedium.cfd/medium.com.
4. Playwright (Reliability fallback)
For complex threads or when API methods fail.
