My post about free Twitter APIs went viral. X suspended the whole service overnight. Here's another way to do it. Last week we showed how @composio lets you post, search, and pull data from X without paying for API access. The post blew up. X suspended Composio's managed Twitter credentials for everyone. But your browser already has everything you need. When you're logged into X, your browser stores two tokens: auth_token and ct0. These are the same credentials X uses to authenticate you. They last for weeks or months, unlike OAuth tokens that expire every few hours. Bird CLI (http:/bird.fast), built by OpenClaw creator @steipete, uses those tokens to tweet, reply, search, and pull timelines from the command line. How to set it up: 1⃣ Open http:/x.com (http:/x.com), hit F12, go to Application > Cookies > x.com 2⃣ Copy the values for auth_token and ct0 3⃣ Give them to Claude Code with this prompt: "Install Bird CLI (http:/bird.fast) and set up my Twitter automation. Here are my browser tokens: auth_token=[paste] ct0=[paste]. Add them to my environment variables, test the connection, and send a test tweet." Claude Code handles the install, the config, and the first post. You just copy two values. No middleman. No dependency. Just your browser and a bot. Enjoy!
