XActions Command Center -- Tutorial
Run every XActions browser tool from one searchable menu. Paste one script, pick a tool, press Run.
The Command Center is the fastest way to use XActions. Instead of finding a single script file, opening it, editing its config, and pasting it, you paste one script and get a floating command palette with all 108 tools inside it: create, scrape, analyze, grow, engage, clean up, moderate, manage lists, and more.
Prerequisites
- Logged into x.com in your browser
- Browser DevTools console (F12, or Cmd+Option+I on Mac, then the Console tab)
Quick Start
- Open x.com and go to the page you want to work on (a profile, your timeline, search results, your Likes, your Followers, etc.).
- Open DevTools (F12) and select the Console tab.
- If the console warns about pasting, type
allow pastingand press Enter. - Copy the entire contents of
scripts/twitter/xactions-command-center.jsand paste it into the console, then press Enter. - The Command Center palette appears in the top-right corner.
Reopen the palette any time with the floating button (bottom-right) or Cmd/Ctrl + K.
Finding a tool
- Search: start typing. It matches tool name, description, and category. Arrow keys move the selection, Enter opens the highlighted tool.
- Categories: click a chip (Create & Post, Scrape & Export, Analytics, Grow, Engage, Clean Up, Moderate, Lists, Communities, Profile, Utilities) to filter.
- Favorites and Recents: click the star on any tool to pin it. Your favorites and recently used tools show at the top of the "All" view.
Running a tool
- Click a tool to open its detail view.
- Read the Where to run line. Each tool expects a specific page (for example, "Scrape Followers" wants
x.com/<user>/followers). The palette warns you if you are not on the right page. - Open Options to set the tool's settings in a form (limits, keywords, templates, delays, and so on). No code editing. Power users can switch to "Edit as JSON."
- Press Run. Progress prints to the Console.
Example: export a profile's followers
- Go to
x.com/nasa/followers. - Open the Command Center, search "followers", open Scrape Followers.
- (Optional) set
maxUsersin Options. - Press Run. The tool auto-scrolls, prints a running count, and downloads
nasa_followers_<date>.jsonplus a CSV when it finishes.
Example: post a thread
- Go to
x.com/compose/post. - Search "thread", open Post a Thread.
- In Options, set
tweetsto your list of strings. Posting tools default to a safe dry run, so setdryRuntofalsewhen you are ready to actually publish. - Press Run.
Safety
Every tool is labelled:
- Safe -- read-only or export. Never changes your account (all the scrapers, analytics, and diagnostics).
- Writes -- performs actions on your account (likes, follows, posts, DMs) at a human pace, with randomized delays.
- Bulk / irreversible -- bulk changes that cannot be undone in one click (mass unfollow, unlike, block, bulk delete your posts). These require a second confirming click and show a warning. Many also default to a dry run so you can preview before acting.
While a tool runs, it appears in the palette's dock with a Stop button (and a Stop all) for the long-running ones. You can also stop any tool from the console with its window.stop<ToolName>() command, which the tool prints when it starts.
Notes
- Everything runs locally in your own logged-in browser session. Nothing is sent to any server.
- Automating actions on X can hit rate limits or violate the platform's terms if pushed too hard. The action tools pace themselves. Keep volumes reasonable and use the read-only tools freely.
- Every individual tool still works on its own if you prefer to paste just one. See the per-tool pages at xactions.app/scripts.
