🚀 Quick Start Examples

Example 1: Unfollow Non-Followers (30 seconds)

Browser Console — No install required!

// Go to: x.com/YOUR_USERNAME/following
// Press F12 → Console → Paste this:

(() => {
  const sleep = (s) => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, s * 1000));
  const run = async () => {
    const buttons = [...document.querySelectorAll('[data-testid$="-unfollow"]')]
      .filter(b => !b.closest('[data-testid="UserCell"]')
        ?.querySelector('[data-testid="userFollowIndicator"]'));
    
    for (const btn of buttons) {
      btn.click();
      await sleep(1);
      document.querySelector('[data-testid="confirmationSheetConfirm"]')?.click();
      await sleep(2);
    }
    window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
    await sleep(2);
    if (document.querySelectorAll('[data-testid$="-unfollow"]').length) run();
    else console.log('✅ Done! Reload page to continue.');
  };
  run();
})();

CLI:

xactions login
xactions non-followers YOUR_USERNAME --output non-followers.json

Node.js:

import { createBrowser, createPage, scrapeFollowing } from 'xactions';

const browser = await createBrowser();
const page = await createPage(browser);
const following = await scrapeFollowing(page, 'your_username', { limit: 500 });
const nonFollowers = following.filter(u => !u.followsBack);
console.log(`Found ${nonFollowers.length} non-followers`);
await browser.close();

💡 Don't want to code? Use xactions.app — just login and click!

Example 2: Scrape Any Profile

Browser Console:

// Go to any profile on x.com, then run:

(() => {
  const profile = {
    name: document.querySelector('[data-testid="UserName"]')?.textContent?.split('@')[0]?.trim(),
    username: location.pathname.slice(1),
    bio: document.querySelector('[data-testid="UserDescription"]')?.textContent,
    followers: document.querySelector('a[href$="/followers"] span')?.textContent,
    following: document.querySelector('a[href$="/following"] span')?.textContent,
  };
  console.log(profile);
  copy(JSON.stringify(profile, null, 2)); // Copies to clipboard!
})();

CLI:

xactions profile elonmusk --json

Node.js:

import { createBrowser, createPage, scrapeProfile } from 'xactions';

const browser = await createBrowser();
const page = await createPage(browser);
const profile = await scrapeProfile(page, 'elonmusk');
console.log(profile);
// { name: 'Elon Musk', followers: '200M', bio: '...', ... }
await browser.close();

Example 3: Search & Scrape Tweets

Browser Console:

// Go to: x.com/search?q=YOUR_KEYWORD&f=live

(() => {
  const tweets = [...document.querySelectorAll('article[data-testid="tweet"]')]
    .map(article => ({
      text: article.querySelector('[data-testid="tweetText"]')?.textContent,
      author: article.querySelector('[data-testid="User-Name"] a')?.href?.split('/')[3],
      time: article.querySelector('time')?.getAttribute('datetime'),
    }));
  console.table(tweets);
  copy(JSON.stringify(tweets, null, 2));
})();

CLI:

xactions search "AI startup" --limit 100 --output ai-tweets.json

Node.js:

import { createBrowser, createPage, searchTweets } from 'xactions';

const browser = await createBrowser();
const page = await createPage(browser);
const tweets = await searchTweets(page, 'AI startup', { limit: 100 });
console.log(`Found ${tweets.length} tweets`);
await browser.close();

Example 4: Detect Who Unfollowed You

Browser Console:

// Go to: x.com/YOUR_USERNAME/followers

(() => {
  const KEY = 'xactions_followers';
  const sleep = (ms) => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, ms));
  
  const scrape = async () => {
    const users = new Set();
    let retries = 0;
    while (retries < 5) {
      document.querySelectorAll('[data-testid="UserCell"] a')
        .forEach(a => users.add(a.href.split('/')[3]?.toLowerCase()));
      window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
      await sleep(1500);
      retries++;
    }
    return [...users].filter(Boolean);
  };

  scrape().then(current => {
    const saved = localStorage.getItem(KEY);
    if (saved) {
      const old = JSON.parse(saved);
      const gone = old.filter(u => !current.includes(u));
      console.log('🚨 Unfollowed you:', gone);
    }
    localStorage.setItem(KEY, JSON.stringify(current));
    console.log(`💾 Saved ${current.length} followers`);
  });
})();

CLI:

# First run saves snapshot
xactions followers YOUR_USERNAME --output snapshot1.json

# Later, compare
xactions followers YOUR_USERNAME --output snapshot2.json
# Use diff tools to compare

Example 5: Auto-Like Posts by Keyword

Browser Console:

// Go to: x.com/search?q=YOUR_KEYWORD&f=live

(async () => {
  const sleep = (s) => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, s * 1000));
  const liked = new Set();
  
  while (liked.size < 20) { // Like 20 posts
    const buttons = [...document.querySelectorAll('[data-testid="like"]')]
      .filter(b => !liked.has(b));
    
    for (const btn of buttons.slice(0, 3)) {
      btn.click();
      liked.add(btn);
      console.log(`❤️ Liked ${liked.size} posts`);
      await sleep(3 + Math.random() * 2); // Random delay
    }
    window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
    await sleep(2);
  }
  console.log('✅ Done!');
})();

⚠️ Go slow! Twitter may rate-limit you. The website version handles this automatically.

Example 6: Leave All Communities

Browser Console:

// Go to: x.com/YOUR_USERNAME/communities

(() => {
  const $communityLinks = 'a[href^="/i/communities/"]';
  const $joinedButton = 'button[aria-label^="Joined"]';
  const $confirmButton = '[data-testid="confirmationSheetConfirm"]';
  const $communitiesNav = 'a[aria-label="Communities"]';

  const getLeftCommunities = () => {
    try { return JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem('xactions_left_ids') || '[]'); }
    catch { return []; }
  };
  const markAsLeft = (id) => {
    const left = getLeftCommunities();
    if (!left.includes(id)) {
      left.push(id);
      sessionStorage.setItem('xactions_left_ids', JSON.stringify(left));
    }
  };

  const sleep = (ms) => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, ms));
  const getCommunityId = () => {
    const leftAlready = getLeftCommunities();
    for (const link of document.querySelectorAll($communityLinks)) {
      const match = link.href.match(/\/i\/communities\/(\d+)/);
      if (match && !leftAlready.includes(match[1])) return { id: match[1], element: link };
    }
    return null;
  };

  const run = async () => {
    console.log(`🚀 Left so far: ${getLeftCommunities().length}`);
    await sleep(1500);
    const joinedBtn = document.querySelector($joinedButton);
    if (joinedBtn) {
      const urlMatch = window.location.href.match(/\/i\/communities\/(\d+)/);
      const currentId = urlMatch ? urlMatch[1] : null;
      joinedBtn.click();
      await sleep(1000);
      const confirmBtn = document.querySelector($confirmButton);
      if (confirmBtn) { confirmBtn.click(); if (currentId) markAsLeft(currentId); await sleep(1500); }
      const communitiesLink = document.querySelector($communitiesNav);
      if (communitiesLink) { communitiesLink.click(); await sleep(2500); return run(); }
    }
    const community = getCommunityId();
    if (community) { community.element.click(); await sleep(2500); return run(); }
    else { console.log(`🎉 DONE! Left ${getLeftCommunities().length} communities`); sessionStorage.removeItem('xactions_left_ids'); }
  };
  run();
})();

🤖 MCP Server (AI Agents)

XActions includes the most comprehensive free MCP server for X/Twitter. Works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and any MCP client.

Quick Setup (30 seconds)

Add to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xactions": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "xactions-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "XACTIONS_SESSION_COOKIE": "your_auth_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your auth_token: x.com → DevTools (F12) → Application → Cookies → copy auth_token value

Or auto-generate the config:

npx xactions mcp-config --client claude
npx xactions mcp-config --client cursor
npx xactions mcp-config --client windsurf

Available MCP Tools (140+)

Example Prompts

"Analyze @paulg's writing style and generate 3 tweet ideas about startups in his voice" → Scrapes tweets → analyzes voice → generates content with AI

"Find everyone I follow who doesn't follow me back, sorted by follower count" → Uses x_get_following + x_get_followers → computes diff → formats results

"Compare the engagement metrics of @openai, @anthropic, and @google" → Scrapes profiles + recent tweets → computes avg engagement → presents comparison
