X — Tweets by Conversation
Conversation id (root tweet id) → normalized list of every tweet in the thread (focal tweet + replies + sub-replies), with author, engagement, media, cursor.
Language
All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language.
Objective
Given an X conversation id (which equals the root tweet id), collect the focal tweet and every reply / sub-reply visible to the logged-in session, returning structured per-tweet data with pagination cursors.
Prerequisites
- Active X session in the browser (left sidebar shows logged-in avatar / @handle).
- Network capture is enabled in the browser-act session.
Pre-execution Checks
1. Tool Readiness
If browser-act has been confirmed available in the current session → skip this step.
Invoke browser-act via Skill tool to load usage. If installation or configuration issues arise, follow its guidance to resolve then retry.
2. Login Verification
If login status for X has been confirmed in the current session → skip this step.
Otherwise: open https://x.com and observe the left sidebar:
- User avatar or @handle visible → logged in, continue
- "Sign in" / "Log in" prompt visible → not logged in, inform the user and assist the login flow
User refuses or cannot log in → terminate execution.
Capability Components
This Skill's operational boundary = what the user can manually do in their browser. It only reads tweet data already shown to the user, never bypassing authentication. The browser's own JS signs the GraphQL request; the Skill triggers it via URL navigation and reads the response from network traffic. Python scripts under scripts/ only build URLs and parse responses — they do not call X directly. Run them through the bash tool.
Network Capture: full conversation thread
Step 1 — build the tweet-detail URL for the conversation root:
URL=$(python scripts/build-conversation-url.py '{conversation_id}' [--handle {handle}])
Parameters:
- conversation_id (positional): the X conversation id, which equals the root tweet id (the same number you would see in https://x.com/i/status/).
- --handle: the root tweet's author handle if known; if unknown, leave the default — x.com/i/status/ resolves to the same focal tweet because X canonicalises the URL.
Step 2 — navigate and capture the first page:
- network requests --clear
- navigate "$URL"
- wait stable --timeout 25000 (timeout is normal on X; proceed)
- network requests --type xhr,fetch --filter TweetDetail → take the latest entry's request_id
- network request → save full output to a file (e.g. tmp/x-conversation-page-1.txt)
- python scripts/parse-tweets.py --json-file tmp/x-conversation-page-1.txt --source tweetdetail → emits JSON {tweets, count, cursortop, cursorbottom}. The focal tweet is the first element; subsequent elements are replies (in display order). Each reply carries isreply: true, inreplytoid, inreplytouser, and conversation_id == , which makes the reply tree reconstructable downstream.
Endpoint characteristic: URL contains /i/api/graphql//TweetDetail. The query hash rotates; always filter by name.
Step 3 — paginate via scroll to load deeper replies and sub-replies:
- network requests --clear
- scroll down --amount 5000
- wait stable --timeout 10000
- network requests --type xhr,fetch --filter TweetDetail → newest entry's request_id
- network request → save to tmp/x-conversation-page-N.txt
- python scripts/parse-tweets.py --json-file tmp/x-conversation-page-N.txt --source tweet_detail
Repeat Step 3 until any termination condition is met:
- Accumulated unique reply count reaches the user's target.
- count == 0 on the current page.
- cursor_bottom is unchanged across two consecutive pages.
- The page shows a "Show more replies" button gated by visibility filters — state reveals it; the Agent may click to expand more, then resume scrolling.
Error handling:
- If the focal tweet is deleted or protected, the response carries a TweetTombstone entry; parse-tweets.py filters tombstones, so the result will be count: 0 — report to the user and stop.
- If no TweetDetail request appears after a scroll, wait 3 s and retry once. Persistent absence after two scrolls means the thread has been fully loaded.
- If a captcha challenge appears (visible in state as an authorization prompt), pause and ask the user.

Network Capture Pagination: triggered by scroll down. X's page JS inserts the previous response's cursorbottom into the next TweetDetail request's variables.cursor. Some sub-reply branches require clicking an in-page "Show replies" expander (state to locate, click ) before the next scroll surfaces them. Termination: count == 0, cursorbottom does not advance across two consecutive pages, or user target reached.
Success Criteria
count >= 1 on the first page (the focal tweet must be present unless the conversation root is deleted) AND every tweet has non-null id, text, createdat, author.username, likecount, retweetcount, replycount, conversationid AND each reply tweet has isreply == true and inreplytoid pointing to a tweet inside the thread.
Known Limitations
- Only replies visible to the logged-in session are returned; X enforces visibility filters (blocked accounts, soft-blocked replies, "Show additional replies, including those that may contain offensive content").
- Deleted root tweets return a tombstone; the Skill terminates with count: 0.
- Quote tweets that reference this conversation are NOT included — they live in a separate timeline; collect them via x-tweet-search-by-query with filter:quote conversation_id: if needed.
- view_count is null for very new replies where X has not emitted views.count.
- Sustained polling triggers per-session throttling; stay under ~150 timeline calls per 15-minute window per session.
- The page may never reach network-idle; wait stable will frequently time out — proceed to read network anyway.
Execution Efficiency
- Batch orchestration: write a bash script that iterates conversation ids serially in one session. For parallelism, fan out across multiple stealth browsers each with its own login.
- Test before batch execution: run one conversation end-to-end (page 1 + at least one paginated page) first.
- Reduce redundant pre-operations: keep the same session for many sequential conversations.
- Error resumption: persist cursor_bottom and accumulated reply IDs per conversation after every page.
- De-duplicate by id: the focal tweet may appear in multiple paginated responses (some endpoints repeat the focal tweet at the top of every page); merge by id.
Experience Notes
Path: {working-directory}/browser-act-skill-forge-memories/x-tweet-scraper-x-tweet-by-conversation.memory.md (working directory is determined by the Agent running the Skill, typically the project root or current working directory)
Before execution: If the file exists, read it first — it records unexpected situations encountered during past executions (e.g., a strategy has become ineffective); adjust strategy order accordingly.
After execution: If an unexpected situation is encountered (strategy became ineffective, page redesigned, anti-scraping upgraded, better path discovered), append a line: {YYYY-MM-DD}: {what happened} → {conclusion}
Normal execution does not write to the file. Do not record which conversation was scraped or how many replies were returned — those are task outputs, not experience.
