X (Twitter)

What is the X (Twitter) tool?

The X (Twitter) tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to post and read on x (formerly twitter). When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This tool requires a X_BEARER_TOKEN environment variable. Get your API key at developer.x.com.

How to use X (Twitter) in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable X (Twitter)

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "X (Twitter)" from the communication category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your X_BEARER_TOKEN in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use X (Twitter) when relevant.

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for X (Twitter).

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use X (Twitter):

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.x import XTools

agent = Agent(
    name="X (Twitter) Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[XTools()],
    instructions=["Use the x (twitter) tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a x task")

Install with: pip install agno # + set X_BEARER_TOKEN
