A command-line power tool for Twitter/X that provides a full command tree for posting, searching, deleting, list management, and streaming from the X API. It includes an X API client library with OAuth 1.0a/2.0 authentication, automatic retry with backoff, and V1.1/V2 API support with fallback.

Use cases

• post tweets from the command line
• search twitter from terminal
• stream filtered twitter posts in real time
• manage twitter lists via cli
• delete tweets in bulk from terminal
• script twitter api automation
• authenticate with twitter oauth from cli

When to choose

• you want to interact with Twitter/X without opening a browser
• you need scriptable Twitter automation with OAuth and retry handling
• you want real-time filtered or sampled tweet streams in the terminal
• you prefer a mature CLI with bash completion and YAML config

When to avoid

• you need a graphical Twitter client
• you primarily target platforms other than Twitter/X
• you need a library-first API rather than a CLI (though a client library is bundled)
• your use case depends on API features removed or restricted by X's current API policies
