X Search

Search X/Twitter using an AI-powered agent for real-time insights and social media intelligence.

Configuration

The private key must be available via one of these methods:

Option 1: Environment variable

export X402_PRIVATE_KEY="0x..."

Option 2: Config file (Recommended)

The script checks for x402-config.json in these locations (in order):

1. Current directory: ./x402-config.json
2. Home directory: ~/.x402-config.json ← Recommended
3. Working directory: $PWD/x402-config.json

Create the config file:

{
  "private_key": "0x1234567890abcdef..."
}

Example (home directory - works for any user):

echo '{"private_key": "0x..."}' > ~/.x402-config.json

Usage

scripts/search.sh "<search query>"
