agent-twitter-client

A Twitter client for agents — no API key necessary.

github ↗

Problem

The Twitter API is rate-limited, paid, and increasingly hostile to automation. But agents still need to read and write to Twitter for many real-world tasks (monitoring, alerting, social presence).

Solution

A client that drives the Twitter web app the way a human would — no API key, no developer account, just a session.

How

  • Stack: TypeScript-friendly bindings.
  • Approach: session-based browser automation against the public web UI.

Results

Used as the Twitter integration in downstream agent projects.

Lessons

"API surface" and "automatable surface" are different. When the API gates access, the web UI often doesn't.
