n8n-nodes-opentweet

This is an n8n community node. It lets you post, schedule, and manage X (Twitter) content with OpenTweet in your n8n workflows.

OpenTweet is an X/Twitter posting and scheduling API. You post, schedule, thread, and read analytics with a single API key. No X developer account, no OAuth, no app review.

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.

Installation

n8n Cloud (once verified)

2. Select Install.
3. Enter n8n-nodes-opentweet as the npm package name.
4. Agree to the risks of using community nodes and select Install.

Operations

Post

• Create — Publish a tweet to X immediately.
• Schedule — Schedule a tweet for a future date and time.
• Create Batch — Create up to 50 posts in a single request, either auto-mapped from incoming items or from a raw JSON array. The 50-post limit is validated before the request is sent.

Thread

• Create — Post a multi-tweet thread. Add each tweet as a part; publish immediately or schedule it.

Analytics

• Get — Retrieve your posting analytics overview (stats, streaks, and trends).

Credentials

You authenticate with an OpenTweet API key.

1. Create a free account at opentweet.io. No X developer account is needed.
2. Open the developer page and generate an API key. It starts with ot_.
3. In n8n, create new OpenTweet API credentials and paste the key.
4. n8n runs a test request against GET /me, so you get a green check as soon as the key is valid.

See the authentication docs for details.

Compatibility

Requires n8n 1.x. Tested against the current n8n LTS. No runtime dependencies.

Error handling

The node surfaces OpenTweet's error messages directly. Common cases:

• 401 — "OpenTweet authentication failed. Check that your API key is correct and starts with ot_."
• 429 — a rate-limit message. OpenTweet enforces per-minute and daily limits per plan.

Enable Continue On Fail on the node to keep the workflow running and pass the error into the output instead of stopping.
