## What it is
xurl is the official curl-like command-line tool for the X (formerly Twitter) API, written in Go. It supports OAuth 1.0a and OAuth 2.0 PKCE authentication with multi-app and multi-account credential management, plus an encrypted XChat client.

## Use cases
- make requests to the X API from the command line
- test X API endpoints like curl
- manage multiple X API app credentials and OAuth tokens
- authenticate with X API using OAuth 2.0 PKCE
- send authenticated requests to Twitter API without writing code
- explore X API responses before integrating into an app

## When to choose
- you need a quick, official way to call X API endpoints from the terminal
- you want built-in OAuth 1.0a/2.0 token handling without writing auth code
- you manage multiple X developer apps or accounts
- you want to prototype or debug X API requests

## When to avoid
- you need a programmatic SDK for embedding in an application rather than a CLI
- you work with social platforms other than X
- you need a GUI or dashboard-style API client
