Twitter Reader

Fetches X (Twitter) posts and long-form Articles with all images and saves them as complete Markdown with metadata.

Content & WritingIntermediate★ 1,323⑂ 212AI score 7/10Last updated: Aug 8, 2026

What it does

  • Given an X/Twitter URL, it pulls the post body, author, date, and engagement metrics (likes, retweets, bookmarks).
  • Supports X Articles (long-form content) and automatically downloads every embedded image into an attachments/ folder.
  • Produces a finished Markdown file with local image references plus YAML frontmatter, ready for Obsidian or other PKM systems.
  • Also offers a lightweight Jina API mode for text-only extraction and a shell script for batch fetching multiple URLs.

Who it's for

  • PKM users archiving X threads and articles into Obsidian, Notion, or a git-based vault.
  • Newsletter and blog writers who collect foreign-language tech posts to translate or summarize.
  • Researchers and analysts who need to cite X posts as source material.

Examples

  1. "Save this X Article into ./Clippings with images" → the script writes the Markdown file and downloads all 15 images.
  2. Pass five thread URLs at once to fetch_tweets.sh for a quick text-only batch grab.
  3. Hand the saved Markdown back to Claude and ask for a 3-line summary plus a blog draft.
