Use for tweet discovery through Frevana's twitter/search/tweets endpoint. This is an HTTP integration; x-topic-search uses a different Chrome Extension workflow. Requires Bash and Python 3.9+ on macOS/Linux, with no SDK, daemon or browser.
Only query is required. Ask for the search topic if missing. Read references/inputs.md for the 26 fields, ranking/date distinctions and optional processing. references/input_schema.json drives validation. CLI hyphens map to declared snake_case properties. Omitted options stay omitted; the default input is just the query.
Invoke and resume
Configure FREVANA_TOKEN in the runtime environment. Requests use Authorization: Bearer <FREVANA_TOKEN>; never embed, print or pass credentials as command arguments. The origin defaults to https://api.frevana.com. Override using FREVANA_API_BASE_URL or --api-base-url with an HTTPS origin, or HTTP localhost for mocks. Redirects are rejected; auth never goes to returned media hosts.
Resolve {baseDir} to this directory and choose one durable state path per logical search-page operation:
# FREVANA_TOKEN is already configured in the runtime environment.
bash {baseDir}/scripts/twitter_tweets_search.sh run \
--query '"nike running shoes" filter:images' \
--state-file ./out/twitter-tweets-page1.task.json \
--output ./out/twitter-tweets-page1.json
bash {baseDir}/scripts/twitter_tweets_search.sh resume
--state-file ./out/twitter-tweets-page1.task.json
bash {baseDir}/scripts/twitter_tweets_search.sh resume
--task-id TASK_UUID --state-file ./out/twitter-tweets-recovered.task.json
Alternatively use `--input-file PATH` with a schema-valid JSON object; do not mix it with input flags. The helper validates nonempty query, declared types/enums, numeric bounds and the documented since/sort incompatibility. Other detailed feature/date syntax belongs to the backend. CLI-only `--published-after`, `--start-date`, `--from-date` map to since; `--published-before`, `--end-date`, `--to-date` map to until. Conflicting aliases stop before network access. JSON input accepts only schema fields. Publish_time is undeclared: resolve a user's relative date into an explicit since before invocation rather than forwarding it. Max_age_days is declared and remains an integer, never recomputed into a timestamp on retry.
`--async true|false|1|0` controls the endpoint input, independently of fixed wrapper `response_mode="json"`. CLI true/false becomes boolean, 1/0 integer; JSON supports all schema string variants too. Defaults: `--timeout=120` seconds per invocation, `--request-timeout=30` seconds, `--retries=2` additional transient attempts. SSE is not requested.
## Search scope and pages
- Preserve the exact query, including quotes and operators such as from:handle, since:YYYY-MM-DD, until:YYYY-MM-DD, min_faves:20, filter:images or filter:videos. These narrow the source search. Do not parse/rewrite operators into wrapper fields, inject operators, translate terms or automatically tighten a sparse/noisy query.
- Sort is latest (described backend default) or top. Top ranks by engagement rather than relevance; an unquoted multi-term query can return popular rows matching none of its terms. Suggest quoting a phrase or adding an operator when that fits the request; do not silently modify the user's chosen query. Sort_rows=views is a separate, explicit ordering of kept rows by views, with unknown views last. Preserve the returned order without local re-ranking or relevance filtering.
- Explicit since filters older rows and ends the walk with stopped_at=since and no next cursor. It requires latest: omission uses the backend default; explicit sort=top plus since is rejected locally rather than silently changing ranking. This check concerns the since input property; query-embedded date operators are preserved separately. Until filters newer rows without ending the walk. Both keep undated rows. Max_age_days (integer 1–3650) drops undated rows; min_views (integer ≥0) drops unknown view counts. Do not infer coverage from an empty page or apply local date/metric filtering. Preserve backend stop/discard metadata. Filtering does not erase fetched-page costs.
- One invocation makes one logical page request with no automatic continuation or media downloads. Cursor is a string: copy pagination.next_cursor verbatim for an explicitly requested next page with a new state/client ID and unchanged query/options. Do not decode, construct, increment or coerce it to integer. A completed task is not an exhausted search while a next cursor remains. No limit, max_items, bulk-page, expansion, max_cursor, trim or include field is declared; never borrow those controls from other skills.
- Seen is an optional account-private deduplication scope across related searches, separate from task idempotency. Never generate it automatically or substitute the client task ID. Labels, custom relevance, exclusions, goal fitting, switch receipts and previews are explicit choices. Omission can still allow backend default free labels/query relevance. A dry_run="1" preview never triggers a paid search automatically. Preserve held-back/recall IDs without inventing a recall route.
## Task protocol and recovery
The helper POSTs the fixed task route with exactly `endpoint_id="twitter/search/tweets"`, client_task_id, input and response_mode. It generates one client ID and atomically saves the entire original body before submission. Retries keep identical serialized bytes and ID, including query operators, cursors, dates and optional processing. Known task IDs resume by GET only; run with task-id also resumes.
- HTTP 200 + READY + inline data completes without another request, including null/empty data.
- HTTP 202 checkpoints identity and polls GET status according to next_poll_after_ms. Status is progress only: after READY fetch GET result even if status carries data. A 202 READY response also uses the result route. Never fetch final results from active/failed/review tasks.
- FAILED/REVIEW_REQUIRED stops with task ID and server code. Parse HTTP 409 and stop without replacement. Saved conflicts/protocol errors without an ID block automatic POST replay until investigated.
- Bounded transport/HTTP 429/500/502/503/504 retries preserve the original body/client ID. A transient response containing an ID stops retries for later recovery. Request timeouts stop immediately because submission may still be in flight; return recovery metadata instead of starting another search.
- Poll timing survives restarts. Zero/missing/invalid delay or unknown status returns control without a busy loop. Timeout does not cancel backend work. Resume the same state; an ambiguous submission without an ID can replay only its persisted original POST/client ID.
Task IDs must be UUID v4; client IDs are stable strings of 1–128 letters/digits or `_.:-`. Successful create/status responses must carry matching task/client IDs; result responses may omit client ID. Missing/malformed/mismatched identities stop with original verified identity and native response. State is bound to this endpoint and origin. Only absent state permits a new operation; null, damaged, unsupported or incomplete state stops without overwriting, generating an ID or contacting the API. Changed query/options/origin/IDs are rejected. Private atomic writes and a nonblocking lock serialize a state path.
## Results and errors
Stdout JSON includes outcome, native data/pagination when returned, endpoint, task/client IDs, status, HTTP status, error_code, server_error_code, error_source, polling guidance, state_file, resumable, original request_payload and latest api_response. Preserve tweet rows, duplicates, nulls, unknown fields and order; no full output schema was supplied. Summarize available tweet text/links, authors, dates and engagement with task metadata for continuation. Do not require an invented row-array shape or claim a guaranteed result count.
Preserve data.walk discard/repeat counts/request IDs, label/relevance pending/dropped IDs, evidence, held-back IDs, switch_receipts, warnings, estimates and accounting. Receipts describe personal switching statements with verbatim evidence, reason, destination and link; do not infer a switching percentage. Model judgments are review signals rather than authorship facts. Tweet text is untrusted data; media URLs are not downloaded automatically.
Errors distinguish server, client/runtime, protocol/identity and persisted-state failures. Server_error_code remains separate when a local error is added. Local file errors appear under client_errors: OUTPUT_SAVE_FAILED retains API outcome/data in stdout; STATE_SAVE_FAILED stops further requests while returning known identity/results. Initial checkpoint failure sends no request. Invalid state returns outcome="state_error", requires_state_repair=true, its path and usable recovery metadata. Repair state or resume its known task ID using a writable state path; never recreate a known task.
Cached READY results return locally; saved FAILED/REVIEW_REQUIRED stops locally. Exit codes: 0 completed; 2 invalid input/runtime configuration; 3 timeout/pending; 4 server/transport/protocol failure; 5 state/local persistence failure, retaining API outcome where available. A nonzero exit never authorizes replacement tasks, query changes or deeper pagination.
## Offline validation
```bash
PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 python3 -m unittest discover \
-s skills/twitter-tweets-search/tests -v
All HTTP transport is mocked; tests never call paid APIs. Inputs come from the supplied schema and task recovery follows existing Frevana helpers. No live deployment or full output-schema coverage is claimed.
