Show HN: Crossmind-CLI – CLI for X, Reddit, HN API with compact JSON output
github.comA CLI for fetching data from social platforms (X, Reddit, HN, GitHub, LinkedIn, Product Hunt, etc.) with compressed JSON output. Built because raw GraphQL responses from X are ~3,900 tokens for 10 tweets — this gets it down to ~666 tokens.
Features: - 15+ platforms supported - Three-tier auth (public API -> cookie -> OAuth) - Structured output designed for LLM context efficiency - Handles X's rotating query IDs and x-client-transaction-id
Built on top of jackwener's opencli/twitter-cli/rdt-cli ecosystem. Open source, PRs welcome. We built this because raw X API responses were costing us
~3,900 tokens per 10 tweets. The official API pricing made
autonomous social agents economically unviable. cookie-auth + compact JSON gets it to ~666 tokens (-83%).
This is what powers CrossMind's AI agent for distribution.
