𝕏 JSON Feed for VS Code

Browse your X (Twitter) timeline as clean JSON or Markdown — right inside your editor. No paid API key required.

Features

Home Timeline — fetch your latest feed in one click
User Tweets — pull tweets from any @username
Search — query by keyword, hashtag, or advanced syntax
Tweet Detail — get the full data of any tweet by ID
JSON or Markdown — choose your output format from the sidebar
Hide Retweets — filter out RTs with a single toggle
Pagination — "Load More" to keep scrolling through results
Secure — tokens stored in VS Code's OS keychain, never sent anywhere except x.com

Quick Start

1. Get your session cookies

Open x.com and log in
Open DevTools (F12) → Application → Cookies → https://x.com
Copy the values of auth_token and ct0

2. Connect in VS Code

Click the 𝕏 icon in the activity bar to open the sidebar
Paste both cookie values and click Connect

That's it — hit Home Timeline and your feed appears as a new editor tab.

How It Works

VS Code Extension  ──cookies──▶  x.com GraphQL API  ──▶  Same API the web app uses
                   ◀──JSON────                       ◀──

The extension makes the same requests your browser makes when you visit x.com — using the same public bearer token, GraphQL endpoints, and your session cookies.

Disclaimer

This extension uses X's internal/undocumented API — the same one their web app uses
It may break at any time if X changes their endpoints or GraphQL query IDs
Using session cookies outside the browser may violate X's Terms of Service — use at your own risk
Your tokens are stored locally in VS Code's SecretStorage (OS keychain) and never leave your machine

Updating GraphQL Query IDs

If fetches start failing with non-auth errors, X may have rotated their query IDs:

Open x.com → DevTools → Network → filter graphql
Browse around (home, profiles, search) and note the IDs in the URLs:
```
https://x.com/i/api/graphql/{QUERY_ID}/{OperationName}
```
Update GRAPHQL_OPS in src/xClient.js
