X via Kimi - No API Key Needed

Access X (Twitter) content through Kimi AI without needing X API access.

Why This Works

Kimi has real-time web search capabilities and can access X content directly:

• ✅ No X API key required
• ✅ No X API costs ($200-5000/month)
• ✅ Real-time access to public posts
• ✅ Can search by user, hashtag, topic
• ✅ Summarizes and analyzes content

Method 1: Kimi API (Recommended)

Step 1: Get Kimi API Key

1. Go to https://platform.moonshot.cn/console/api-keys
2. Create a new API key
3. Free credits: 15 CNY (~$2) for testing

Step 2: Query X Content

export KIMI_API_KEY="your-api-key"

curl https://api.moonshot.cn/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIMI_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "kimi-k2.5",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user", 
        "content": "Search X (Twitter) for recent posts from @alexmikhalev in the last 30 days. List the main topics they discussed and any interesting insights they shared."
      }
    ],
    "tools": [{
      "type": "builtin_function",
      "function": {
        "name": "web_search"
      }
    }]
  }'

Example Queries

Get posts from specific user:

Search X for posts by @alexmikhalev from the last 30 days. 
What topics did they discuss? What links did they share?

Find trending topics:

What are the trending topics on X (Twitter) in AI/ML space 
from the last 7 days? Who are the key voices?

Research specific topic:

Search X for discussions about "knowledge graphs" and "AI agents" 
from the last 30 days. Summarize the key insights and debates.

Method 2: Kimi.com Web Interface

Using Browser Relay

1. Open Chrome with Kimi:

   google-chrome "https://kimi.com" &
   

2. Attach Browser Relay:

   • Click OpenClaw Browser Relay extension icon
   • Wait for cdpReady: true

3. Query X through Kimi:

   // Type query
   browser action=act profile=chrome targetId=<id> request={
     "kind": "evaluate",
     "fn": "(() => { const ed = document.querySelector('textarea'); if(ed) { ed.focus(); ed.value = 'Search X for @alexmikhalev posts from last 30 days'; return 'ok'; } return 'not found'; })()"
   }
   
   // Submit
   browser action=act profile=chrome targetId=<id> request={"kind":"press","key":"Enter"}
   

Method 3: Kimi Claw (Native Integration)

If you have access to Kimi Claw (https://kimi.com/bot):

1. Go to https://kimi.com/bot
2. Ask directly: "Search X for posts from @alexmikhalev last 30 days"
3. Kimi Claw has built-in web search and X access

Cost Comparison

Method	Cost	Setup	Reliability
X API v2	$200-5000/mo	Developer account	High
xAI Grok API	$0-10/mo	API key	High
Kimi API	~$0.01/query	API key	Medium
Kimi Browser	Free	Chrome + relay	Medium
Kimi Claw	Free	Web access	High

Limitations

1. Public posts only - Can't access private accounts
2. Search-dependent - Relies on X's search indexing
3. Rate limits - Kimi API has usage limits
4. Not real-time - Slight delay vs direct API

Recommended Approach

For your use case (fetching posts from people you follow):

Option A: Kimi API (Best Balance)

• Cost: ~$5-10/month for regular use
• Setup: Simple API key
• Reliability: Good

Option B: Kimi Claw (If Available)

• Cost: Free
• Setup: None (web-based)
• Reliability: Best

Option C: Grok API (Alternative)

• Cost: $0 (with free credits)
• Setup: xAI account
• Reliability: Good

Quick Start Script

#!/bin/bash
# x-via-kimi.sh - Search X through Kimi

KIMI_API_KEY="${KIMI_API_KEY:-}"
USER="${1:-alexmikhalev}"
DAYS="${2:-30}"

if [ -z "$KIMI_API_KEY" ]; then
    echo "Error: Set KIMI_API_KEY environment variable"
    exit 1
fi

curl -s https://api.moonshot.cn/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIMI_API_KEY" \

    }]
  }" | jq -r '.choices[0].message.content'
