Tweet / X Thread → Article (Claude)

Convert a Twitter / X thread (URL or pasted text) into a clean Markdown article. Removes '1/N' noise, smooths transitions, adds optional H2 headings, preserves facts and quotes. BYO Anthropic API key. $0.01 per thread.

Why this exists

Twitter/X threads are great for hot takes but terrible for re-reading or sharing. You want them as articles — flowing paragraphs without the "1/N" noise, with proper section headings.

Threadreader.app does this but their API is gated. This actor replaces it for $0.01 per thread + Anthropic tokens (~$0.005).

What you get

{
"thread_url":"https://x.com/balajis/status/...",
"thread_chars":3520,
"article_md":"# Why AI agents will replace SaaS\n\nThe key insight is...\n\n## The new business model\n...\n\n## Implications\n...",
"article_words":480,
"style":"blog",
"model":"claude-opus-4-7",
"usage":{"input_tokens":1240,"output_tokens":720}
}

Two input modes

Mode A: paste thread text (recommended — reliable)

{
"threadText":"1/ The key insight about AI agents is...\n2/ They will replace SaaS because...\n3/ ...",
"articleStyle":"blog",
"anthropicApiKey":"sk-ant-..."
}

Mode B: pass X URL (best-effort via Nitter)

{
"threadUrl":"https://x.com/balajis/status/1234567890",
"anthropicApiKey":"sk-ant-..."
}

URL note: X.com is hostile to scraping. We try public Nitter mirrors (nitter.net, nitter.privacydev.net, nitter.poast.org). When all mirrors fail (intermittent), paste the text directly via threadText. Paste mode is always reliable.

Article styles

Quick start

Convert a long Balaji thread into a blog post

One-sentence summary back into a tweet

4. Research — Convert deep technical threads into reference material

Setting your Anthropic API key

See Article Summarizer README for the BYO key guide.

Limitations

• X URL scraping is unreliable. Use threadText for production.
• Quote-RT context lost. When a thread quotes other tweets, the quoted content isn't auto-included.
• No image / media handling. Images in threads are skipped (text-only).
