🏆 How XActions Compares

Why build with XActions instead of the alternatives?

Feature XActions twikit twscrape x-use xmcp (official) bird twitter-cli Agent-Reach
No API Key Required ✅ Cookies ✅ Account pool ✅ Browser ❌ X API keys ✅ Cookies ❌ X API keys
MCP Server (AI agents) 153 tools ✅ (33-tool server) ✅ (140-tool, metered) ❌ Skills, not MCP
Browser Console Scripts ✅ 95
AI Voice Agent in Spaces ✅ Join, listen, speak
CLI ✅ 56 commands
Human approval gate on writes ✅ Every write held as a draft
Daily action caps that survive a restart ✅ Per account, on disk
Account pool with rotation ✅ SQLite, per-operation windows
Resumable long scrapes ✅ Cursor checkpoints
Cookies from your installed browser --from-browser, --cookies-file
Official X archive import xactions archive
Language JavaScript Python Python TypeScript TypeScript TypeScript Python Python

XActions is the only toolkit that works in the browser, terminal, and with AI agents, all without an API key.

Competitor columns come from the competitive audit, which names each project and what it does better than us. Where a rival led, we built it: the approval gate and the daily caps follow x-use, the account pool follows twscrape, cursor resume follows Scweet, and browser cookie import follows bird and twitter-cli.


🆕 What's New

Area What changed
Delete every reply you sent one account scripts/searchSweep.js turns any X search into a bulk action. Open x.com/search?q=from:you @someone&f=live, paste it, and delete, like, repost, or reply to every result, with a floating panel, a dry run, filters that protect posts that did numbers, and multiple passes because X search returns a slice at a time. Deletes only ever touch your own posts. Docs.
Sweep a whole profile scripts/engageProfile.js likes, reposts, and replies to every post on an account from the console, with a floating panel, dry run, resume, undo, and replies from your templates or from an LLM given a one-line brief (Grok works straight from the console; any provider through the extension). xactions engage USERNAME --like --repost --comment --prompt "..." does the same from the terminal with any provider. Docs.
A CLI you can find your way around All 56 commands are now grouped by task instead of listed alphabetically. xactions quickstart gives a guided first run that adapts to what you already have set up.
Tab completion xactions completion bash|zsh|fish prints a completion script generated from the live command tree, so every command, sub-command, and flag completes.
Log in without touching DevTools xactions login --from-browser reads x.com cookies straight out of an installed Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge, Arc or Firefox profile. --cookies-file imports a Netscape cookies.txt, a Cookie-Editor or EditThisCookie JSON export, or a Playwright / Puppeteer storageState. A full cookie jar beats a bare auth_token, because it carries the ct0 every write needs.
Query IDs that heal themselves X rotates its GraphQL query IDs and every pinned client 404s at once. Ours are discovered from x.com's own bundles and cached, so a rotation is invisible. xactions doctor reports the cache age.
Requests signed like the real client Every GraphQL call carries an x-client-transaction-id header computed the way x.com's own web client computes it, so reads get the answer the browser gets.
An account pool, and scrapes that resume Sessions live in a SQLite database with their own proxy and a per-operation rate-limit window read from X's own headers. The pooled client rotates on a 429 and locks an account on a 401. A checkpoint written after every page means a 50,000-follower scrape that dies at page 400 restarts from its cursor, not from page one.
Daily action caps Every MCP write is charged against a rolling 24 hour per-account budget stored on disk. The cap survives a restart, a crash, and a fresh npx xactions-mcp, and a call that would go over is refused before it reaches X. Defaults follow X's own published limits.
Writes a human releases XACTIONS_MCP_REQUIRE_APPROVAL=1 turns every write tool into a draft. Review with xactions drafts list, release with xactions drafts approve <id>, or use the x_list_drafts / x_approve_draft / x_discard_draft tools.
MCP tool groups The tool list is filterable: --tools read,analytics or XACTIONS_MCP_TOOLS=read advertises only what the session needs, and a filtered tool is neither advertised nor callable. Groups: read, write, dm, lists, spaces, analytics, ai, grok, automation, monitoring, workflows, persona, graph, data, x402, drafts, auth.
MCP over HTTP xactions-mcp --http serves the Streamable HTTP transport on /mcp for remote and hosted clients, with optional bearer auth via XACTIONS_MCP_TOKEN. stdio is still the default.
One-drag install for Claude Desktop The .mcpb bundle carries the server and its dependencies and prompts for the session cookie and tool groups at install time, so nothing is typed into a config file. Attached to every release.
Skills you can install xactions skills install --all copies the 50 bundled skills into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, or the current project. xactions skills show <name> reads one without installing it.
Bring your X archive xactions archive summary|export|migrate reads the official X data export zip: counts, date range, busiest year and top hashtags; a rewrite to JSON, CSV, Markdown and a browsable HTML viewer; or a migration to Bluesky or Mastodon. Docs.
Live event streaming src/streaming/livePipeline.js reads x.com's own event pipeline: engagement counters, DM updates and typing indicators, pushed rather than polled, with subscriptions changed mid-session. It is a chunked newline-delimited JSON response, not a WebSocket, because x.com never answers that endpoint with a 101.
Signed webhooks Outbound deliveries carry an HMAC-SHA256 signature, a timestamp, an event type and a stable delivery id, retry three times with backoff, and land in a replayable delivery log. Receivers verify with the exported verifyWebhookSignature.
--compact and --fields Global on every read command. --compact prints one record per line as tab-separated key=value pairs with no colours or spinners; --fields id,text,likes narrows that to the columns you name. Built for agents and pipes.
--json everywhere Every read command accepts --json and puts data on stdout and nothing else. It outranks --output, so a pipe is never silently turned into a file write.
Reliability Public reads no longer need a browser at all. Profiles and timelines come from the internal GraphQL API in about a second, with no Chromium download.
Honest failures Nothing reports empty results as success anymore. A read that cannot complete says why, and says what to do about it.
Archive every photo and video xactions download @nichxbt:all --archive saves a profile's media, avatar and banner with gallery-dl-style filename templates, then re-runs incrementally. Resumes interrupted files with Range, retries rate limits, and hard-links the same photo reached through a retweet instead of storing it twice. Also xactions/media and the x_download_media MCP tool. Docs.
Ask XActions xactions.app/ask answers "how do I..." in plain language from these docs, the skills, the scripts and the repo, and ends every answer with the thing to run: the console script (copied from source), the terminal command, or the MCP tool. Also xactions ask "how do I unfollow everyone?" in a terminal, and x_ask so an agent can read the manual before it acts. Free LLM lanes, three of which need no key. Docs.
Examples examples/: 9 runnable programs, from a first profile lookup to the MCP draft-approval gate. Each one runs as written.
Tutorials tutorials/: six guided walkthroughs, from a first scrape with no account to scripting XActions inside your own pipelines.
Docs that stay true npm run docs:check fails the build on a dead link, a stale version, a wrong tool count, or a documented command that does not exist.
Cross-platform Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads scrapers behind one normalised interface.
Plugin system Community plugins via npm: xactions-plugin-* packages extend scrapers, MCP tools, and automation.
Workflow engine Declarative JSON pipelines with triggers, conditions, and chained actions.
Sentiment analysis Offline rule-based analyzer, with an optional LLM mode behind the same interface.
Browser extension Chrome/Edge Manifest V3: run automations from a popup, no console needed.

How do I like, repost, and reply to every post on a profile?
  1. Go to https://x.com/USERNAME
  2. Open the Developer Console. (COMMAND+ALT+I on Mac)
  3. Paste scripts/engageProfile.js and run it. A panel appears: pick like / repost / reply, leave dry run on, press Start, read the log, then turn dry run off.

Replies come from your own templates or from an LLM given a brief like "supportive, specific, one honest question". From the terminal: npx xactions engage USERNAME --like --repost --comment --prompt "...". Full guide: docs/engage.md.

This script:

  • Is completely free.
  • Doesn't try and get you to sign in or take your personal data.
  • Automates your web browser to make it click unfollow buttons, scroll down to reveal more, then do it again.
  • No tricks, all of the code is here so you can see exactly what it does.
How do I find who unfollowed me on Twitter?

Use src/detectUnfollowers.js - it saves a snapshot of your followers and compares on next run.

How do I download Twitter/X videos?

Use src/scrapers/videoDownloader.js - extracts MP4 URLs from any tweet.

Twitter API alternative that's free?

XActions uses browser automation instead of the API. No API keys needed, no rate limits, no $100/mo fee.

Hypefury / Tweethunter alternative?

XActions is open-source and completely free for humans. AI agents pay micropayments per request.

🚀 Quick Start Examples

Sixty seconds, no account

Most reads work the moment you install. You do not need an X account, an API key, or a browser.

npm install -g xactions

xactions doctor                      # what works right now, and why
xactions profile NASA                # any public account
xactions analyze NASA                # engagement rate, cadence, content mix, best hour
xactions tweets NASA --limit 50 --json | jq -r '.[].text'

Then log in once, in a real browser, to unlock search, followers, following, likes, bookmarks, and DMs:

xactions connect
xactions search "your topic" --limit 50

Running xactions with no arguments prints all 56 commands grouped by task. xactions completion bash (or zsh, fish) turns on tab completion.

Example 1: Unfollow Non-Followers (30 seconds)

Browser Console: No install required!

// Go to: x.com/YOUR_USERNAME/following
// Press F12 → Console → Paste this:

(() => {
  const sleep = (s) => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, s * 1000));
  const run = async () => {
    const buttons = [...document.querySelectorAll('[data-testid$="-unfollow"]')]
      .filter(b => !b.closest('[data-testid="UserCell"]')
        ?.querySelector('[data-testid="userFollowIndicator"]'));
    
    for (const btn of buttons) {
      btn.click();
      await sleep(1);
      document.querySelector('[data-testid="confirmationSheetConfirm"]')?.click();
      await sleep(2);
    }
    window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
    await sleep(2);
    if (document.querySelectorAll('[data-testid$="-unfollow"]').length) run();
    else console.log('✅ Done! Reload page to continue.');
  };
  run();
})();

CLI:

xactions login
xactions non-followers YOUR_USERNAME --output non-followers.json

Node.js:

import { createBrowser, createPage, scrapeFollowing } from 'xactions';

const browser = await createBrowser();
const page = await createPage(browser);
const following = await scrapeFollowing(page, 'your_username', { limit: 500 });
const nonFollowers = following.filter(u => !u.followsBack);
console.log(`Found ${nonFollowers.length} non-followers`);
await browser.close();

💡 Don't want to code? Use xactions.app: just login and click!


Example 2: Scrape Any Profile

Browser Console:

// Go to any profile on x.com, then run:

(() => {
  const profile = {
    name: document.querySelector('[data-testid="UserName"]')?.textContent?.split('@')[0]?.trim(),
    username: location.pathname.slice(1),
    bio: document.querySelector('[data-testid="UserDescription"]')?.textContent,
    followers: document.querySelector('a[href$="/followers"] span')?.textContent,
    following: document.querySelector('a[href$="/following"] span')?.textContent,
  };
  console.log(profile);
  copy(JSON.stringify(profile, null, 2)); // Copies to clipboard!
})();

CLI:

xactions profile elonmusk --json

Node.js:

import { createBrowser, createPage, scrapeProfile } from 'xactions';

const browser = await createBrowser();
const page = await createPage(browser);
const profile = await scrapeProfile(page, 'elonmusk');
console.log(profile);
// { name: 'Elon Musk', followers: '200M', bio: '...', ... }
await browser.close();

Example 3: Search & Scrape Tweets

Browser Console:

// Go to: x.com/search?q=YOUR_KEYWORD&f=live

(() => {
  const tweets = [...document.querySelectorAll('article[data-testid="tweet"]')]
    .map(article => ({
      text: article.querySelector('[data-testid="tweetText"]')?.textContent,
      author: article.querySelector('[data-testid="User-Name"] a')?.href?.split('/')[3],
      time: article.querySelector('time')?.getAttribute('datetime'),
    }));
  console.table(tweets);
  copy(JSON.stringify(tweets, null, 2));
})();

CLI:

xactions search "AI startup" --limit 100 --output ai-tweets.json

Node.js:

import { createBrowser, createPage, searchTweets } from 'xactions';

const browser = await createBrowser();
const page = await createPage(browser);
const tweets = await searchTweets(page, 'AI startup', { limit: 100 });
console.log(`Found ${tweets.length} tweets`);
await browser.close();

Example 4: Detect Who Unfollowed You

Browser Console:

// Go to: x.com/YOUR_USERNAME/followers

(() => {
  const KEY = 'xactions_followers';
  const sleep = (ms) => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, ms));
  
  const scrape = async () => {
    const users = new Set();
    let retries = 0;
    while (retries < 5) {
      document.querySelectorAll('[data-testid="UserCell"] a')
        .forEach(a => users.add(a.href.split('/')[3]?.toLowerCase()));
      window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
      await sleep(1500);
      retries++;
    }
    return [...users].filter(Boolean);
  };

  scrape().then(current => {
    const saved = localStorage.getItem(KEY);
    if (saved) {
      const old = JSON.parse(saved);
      const gone = old.filter(u => !current.includes(u));
      console.log('🚨 Unfollowed you:', gone);
    }
    localStorage.setItem(KEY, JSON.stringify(current));
    console.log(`💾 Saved ${current.length} followers`);
  });
})();

CLI:

# First run saves snapshot
xactions followers YOUR_USERNAME --output snapshot1.json

# Later, compare
xactions followers YOUR_USERNAME --output snapshot2.json
# Use diff tools to compare

Example 5: Auto-Like Posts by Keyword

Browser Console:

// Go to: x.com/search?q=YOUR_KEYWORD&f=live

(async () => {
  const sleep = (s) => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, s * 1000));
  const liked = new Set();
  
  while (liked.size < 20) { // Like 20 posts
    const buttons = [...document.querySelectorAll('[data-testid="like"]')]
      .filter(b => !liked.has(b));
    
    for (const btn of buttons.slice(0, 3)) {
      btn.click();
      liked.add(btn);
      console.log(`❤️ Liked ${liked.size} posts`);
      await sleep(3 + Math.random() * 2); // Random delay
    }
    window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
    await sleep(2);
  }
  console.log('✅ Done!');
})();

⚠️ Go slow! Twitter may rate-limit you. The website version handles this automatically.

  const markAsLeft = (id) => {
    const left = getLeftCommunities();
    if (!left.includes(id)) {
      left.push(id);

🤖 MCP Server (AI Agents)

XActions includes the most comprehensive free MCP server for X/Twitter. Works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and any MCP client.

Quick Setup (30 seconds)

Add to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xactions": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "xactions-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "XACTIONS_SESSION_COOKIE": "your_auth_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your auth_token: x.com → DevTools (F12) → Application → Cookies → copy auth_token value

Or auto-generate the config:

npx xactions mcp-config --client claude
npx xactions mcp-config --client cursor
npx xactions mcp-config --client windsurf

Available MCP Tools (152)

Graph x_graph_build, x_graph_analyze, x_graph_recommendations, x_graph_list
Drafts x_list_drafts, x_approve_draft, x_discard_draft, x_draft_status

Every tool belongs to exactly one group, and the list is filterable, so a client loads only what the session needs:

npx xactions-mcp --tools read,analytics     # advertise these groups only
npx xactions-mcp --exclude write,dm         # or subtract from the full list
XACTIONS_MCP_TOOLS=read npx xactions-mcp    # same thing through the environment

A filtered tool is neither advertised nor callable. Groups, largest first: read, analytics, write, monitoring, data, workflows, automation, ai, persona, spaces, graph, drafts, dm, grok, lists, auth, plus x402 when the server runs in remote mode.

Hold every write for a human

XACTIONS_MCP_REQUIRE_APPROVAL=1 npx xactions-mcp

Every tool that posts, deletes, follows, mutes or sends is then saved as a draft instead of running. Release or bin them with x_list_drafts, x_approve_draft and x_discard_draft, or from the shell with xactions drafts list, xactions drafts approve <id> and xactions drafts discard <id>.

Independently of that gate, every write is charged against a rolling 24 hour per-account cap held in a file under ~/.xactions, so it survives a restart and a call that would exceed it never reaches X.

Run the server over HTTP

npx xactions-mcp --http --port 3000    # Streamable HTTP on /mcp

stdio is the default and is what a local client wants. --http (or MCP_TRANSPORT=http) is for remote and hosted clients; set XACTIONS_MCP_TOKEN to require Authorization: Bearer <token> on it.

Install into Claude Desktop with no config file

The .mcpb bundle carries the server and its dependencies and prompts for the session cookie and the tool groups at install time. Download it from the latest release and drag it onto Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions.

Example Prompts

"Analyze @paulg's writing style and generate 3 tweet ideas about startups in his voice" → Scrapes tweets → analyzes voice → generates content with AI

"Find everyone I follow who doesn't follow me back, sorted by follower count" → Uses x_get_following + x_get_followers → computes diff → formats results

"Compare the engagement metrics of @openai, @anthropic, and @google" → Scrapes profiles + recent tweets → computes avg engagement → presents comparison

📖 Full setup guide: docs/mcp-setup.md


🎙️ Autonomous Space Agent

AI agents can join live X Spaces, listen to conversations, and speak autonomously using voice AI. Powered by the xspace-agent SDK.

What It Does

  1. Launches a headless browser and joins an X Space
  2. Transcribes other speakers in real time (Whisper STT)
  3. Generates intelligent responses with your chosen LLM (OpenAI, Claude, or Groq)
  4. Speaks responses back into the Space via text-to-speech (ElevenLabs, OpenAI, or browser)
  5. Handles turn-taking, context tracking, and graceful shutdown

Setup

npm install xactions xspace-agent

Set your credentials:

export X_AUTH_TOKEN="your_auth_token"     # From x.com cookies
export X_CT0="your_ct0_token"            # From x.com cookies
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."           # Or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / GROQ_API_KEY

Usage

MCP (Claude Desktop / Cursor):

"Join this Space as an AI agent: https://x.com/i/spaces/1abc123"

Claude calls x_space_join and your agent enters the Space.

Node.js:

import { joinSpace, leaveSpace } from 'xactions/spaces/agent';

await joinSpace({
  url: 'https://x.com/i/spaces/1abc123',
  provider: 'openai',
  systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful AI participant. Keep responses concise.',
});

// Later...
const summary = await leaveSpace();
// { duration: '300s', transcriptions: 42, responses: 8 }

MCP Tools:

Tool Description
x_space_join Join a Space with an autonomous AI voice agent
x_space_leave Leave the active Space and get session summary
x_space_status Get agent status (duration, transcription/response counts)
x_space_transcript Get recent transcriptions from the active Space

Output flags for agents and pipes

Global on every read command:

xactions profile NASA --compact                              # one record per line, key=value
xactions tweets NASA --limit 200 --fields id,likes,text --compact
xactions tweets NASA --limit 200 --json | jq 'sort_by(-.likes) | .[:5]'

--compact prints tab-separated key=value pairs with no colours or spinners. --fields narrows that to the columns you name, in the order you name them. --json prints the full structured object and outranks --output, so a pipe is never silently turned into a file write. If both --compact and --json are passed, --compact wins.

Public reads work with no account: profile, tweets, thread, media, analyze, hashtag. Search, followers, following, non-followers, likes, bookmarks and DMs need a session. Full reference: docs/cli-reference.md.

🔒 Safety & Best Practices

Rate Limiting: Built-in 1-3s delays, human-like scrolling, auto-pause on rate limits

Auth Token: x.com → DevTools (F12) → Application → Cookies → copy auth_token

Caution

Do: Use 2–5s delays · Mix automated with manual activity · Test with small batches

Don't: Mass-follow thousands/day · Run 24/7 · Spam comments

🌐 Run the MCP server over HTTP

stdio is the default transport and is what a local client wants. For a remote or hosted client, the same server speaks MCP Streamable HTTP on /mcp, with the same 153 tools and the same tool-group filtering:

npx xactions-mcp --http --port 3000
# or: MCP_TRANSPORT=http PORT=3000 npx xactions-mcp

Require a token on it by setting XACTIONS_MCP_TOKEN; clients then send Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Connect from any MCP client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xactions": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Check it from the shell

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Deploying it somewhere public? Run it behind TLS with XACTIONS_MCP_TOKEN set, and prefer a narrow tool set (--tools read,analytics) over the full list. Dockerfile and docs/deployment.md cover Railway, Fly.io, Docker and Cloudflare.
