What it does
- Takes a tweet or X Article URL and pulls the full body content.
- Writes YAML frontmatter with author, date, likes, retweets and bookmarks.
- Downloads every embedded image into
attachments/YYYY-MM-DD-author-title/and rewrites the Markdown links to local paths. - Offers a lightweight text-only mode via the Jina API plus a batch script for multiple URLs.
Who it's for
- Obsidian / Notion users who archive threads and articles into a personal knowledge base
- Researchers and newsletter writers who collect X content to summarize or translate
- Content teams that need faithful archives of image-heavy long-form posts
Examples
- "Save this X Article to ./Clippings with its images" → runs
fetch_article.py, producing a Markdown file plus an attachments folder - "Just extract the text of this tweet" → uses the Jina API mode for a fast text-only grab
- "Fetch these 5 tweets and summarize them" → batch fetch with
fetch_tweets.sh, then let Claude summarize
