Ingest Tweet
Extract complete tweet text and metadata from X/Twitter posts
What You Can Do
This skill extracts the complete text of any X/Twitter post (including long-form note tweets that normally get truncated), captures author information and timestamps, and retrieves engagement metrics like likes, retweets, and replies. You can automatically archive tweets to your vault with structured metadata, making it easy to reference and search social content later.
Features
retrieves complete tweet content, including note tweets that exceed standard character limits
extracts author name, handle, creation date, and engagement stats (likes, retweets, replies)
includes full text of quoted tweets in the extraction
identifies attached images and video content in the tweet
converts shortened t.co links to full URLs in extracted text
saves extracted tweets with YAML headers to your knowledge base in structured format
uses FXTwitter API with free public access
automatically switches to oEmbed if primary extraction fails
