ADHX - X/Twitter Post Reader
Fetch any X/Twitter post as structured JSON for analysis using the ADHX API.
Overview
ADHX provides a free API that returns clean JSON for any X post, including full long-form article content. This is far superior to scraping or browser-based approaches for LLM consumption. Works with regular tweets and full X Articles.
When to Use This Skill
- Use when a user shares an X/Twitter link and wants to read, analyze, or summarize the post
- Use when you need structured data from an X/Twitter post (author, engagement, content)
- Use when working with long-form X Articles that need full content extraction
API Endpoint
https://adhx.com/api/share/tweet/{username}/{statusId}
URL Patterns
Extract username and statusId from any of these URL formats:
| Format | Example |
|---|---|
x.com/{user}/status/{id} | https://x.com/dgt10011/status/2020167690560647464 |
twitter.com/{user}/status/{id} | https://twitter.com/dgt10011/status/2020167690560647464 |
adhx.com/{user}/status/{id} | https://adhx.com/dgt10011/status/2020167690560647464 |
Workflow
When a user shares an X/Twitter link:
- Parse the URL to extract
usernameandstatusIdfrom the path segments - Fetch the JSON using curl:
bashcurl -s "https://adhx.com/api/share/tweet/{username}/{statusId}"
- Use the structured response to answer the user's question (summarize, analyze, extract key points, etc.)
Response Schema
json{ "id": "statusId", "url": "original x.com URL", "text": "short-form tweet text (empty if article post)", "author": { "name": "Display Name", "username": "handle", "avatarUrl": "profile image URL" }, "createdAt": "timestamp", "engagement": { "replies": 0, "retweets": 0, "likes": 0, "views": 0 }, "article": { "title": "Article title (for long-form posts)", "previewText": "First ~200 chars", "coverImageUrl": "hero image URL", "content": "Full markdown content with images" } }
Installation
Option A: Claude Code plugin marketplace (recommended)
/plugin marketplace add itsmemeworks/adhx
Option B: Manual install
bashcurl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/itsmemeworks/adhx/main/skills/adhx/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/adhx/SKILL.md
Examples
Example 1: Summarize a tweet
User: "Summarize this post https://x.com/dgt10011/status/2020167690560647464"
bashcurl -s "https://adhx.com/api/share/tweet/dgt10011/2020167690560647464"
Then use the returned JSON to provide the summary.
Example 2: Analyze engagement
User: "How many likes did this tweet get? https://x.com/handle/status/123"
- Parse URL: username =
handle, statusId =123 - Fetch:
curl -s "https://adhx.com/api/share/tweet/handle/123" - Return the
engagement.likesvalue from the response
Best Practices
- Always parse the full URL to extract username and statusId before calling the API
- Check for the
articlefield when the user wants full content (not just tweet text) - Use the
engagementfield when users ask about likes, retweets, or views - Don't attempt to scrape x.com directly - use this API instead
Notes
- No authentication required
- Works with both short tweets and long-form X articles
- Always prefer this over browser-based scraping for X content
- If the API returns an error or empty response, inform the user the post may not be available

Limitations

- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
