bird CLI

A command-line interface for X/Twitter that authenticates via your existing browser session — no API keys or OAuth setup required.

Overview

bird is a TypeScript-based CLI that uses Twitter's internal GraphQL API with automatic query ID management. It extracts authentication cookies from Safari, Chrome, or Firefox.

Key Features:

• Zero-config authentication via browser cookies
• Full tweet lifecycle: post, reply, read, search
• Media uploads (images, GIFs, videos) with alt text
• Multiple output formats (human-readable, JSON, plain)
• Automatic GraphQL query ID refresh and REST API fallback
