JoinArtisanVent/x-scraper-no-api

The repository offers a self-hosted tool written in JavaScript that extracts data from X without needing official API credentials or paid credits. It operates by utilizing a user’s existing local browser session through the Playwright framework. The system converts retrieved tweets, search results, and timelines into JSON, CSV, or Markdown files. These file formats are designed to be easily processed by large language models. A developer installs the project to run on local infrastructure rather than relying on external servers. The software connects to the X platform using the active browser session of the operator. Once data is gathered, it is exported into structured text formats suitable for automated analysis. The package also includes specific code modules intended for the OpenClaw and Hermes agent frameworks. The project currently holds 165 stars and 5 forks on GitHub, indicating a small initial community interest. It was first observed crossing Wirecopy’s new-project discovery gate today, marking its recent emergence in the public index. Users should note that the tool relies on unofficial access methods which may conflict with platform terms of service. Its practical utility remains tied to users operating within the OpenClaw or Hermes ecosystems, limiting broader adoption.
