😤 Problem

You: fetch that tweet / list / article for me
AI:  I can't access X/Twitter. Please copy-paste the content manually.

You: ...seriously?

X has no free API. Scraping gets you blocked. Browser automation is fragile and won't work in headless environments.

x-tweet-fetcher solves this with smart backend routing: Nitter for zero-dependency speed, Playwright for full-feature coverage, auto fallback between them.

Browser only — full features (lists, articles)

python3 scripts/fetch_tweet.py --list 1455045069516357634 --backend browser


| Backend | Deps | Speed | Features |
|---------|------|-------|----------|
| **nitter** | None (stdlib only) | ⚡ Fast | Timeline, search, replies, profile, mentions |
| **browser** | Playwright/Chromium | 🐢 Slower | Everything above + **Lists** + **Articles** + **fetch_china** |
| **auto** (default) | Best available | ⚡→🐢 | Tries nitter first, falls back to browser |

> **OpenClaw users**: Playwright + Chromium are built-in. `--backend auto` just works — no extra install needed.
