# X Import

**Node type:** `utility:x_import`  
**Category:** `Video Import`

## Description

Download videos from X (Twitter) posts by URL

## Canvas ports

These appear as port handles on the left side of the node.

| ID        | Label                  | Details             |
| --------- | ---------------------- | ------------------- |
| `url`     | **X Post URL**         | `TEXT` _(required)_ |
| `cookies` | **Cookies (optional)** | `TEXT`              |

## Sidebar config

These render as form fields in the right-side config panel when the node is selected.

_No sidebar config fields._

## Outputs

| ID      | Label     | Type    |
| ------- | --------- | ------- |
| `video` | **Video** | `VIDEO` |

## Which video it imports

Paste the post's link. A post with one video imports that video. A post with
several imports the FIRST one, unless the link names another: add
`/video/<n>` to pick the Nth, counted from 1 across all of the post's media,
photos included. `https://x.com/user/status/123/video/2` is the second. A
`/photo/<n>` link is read as the post itself, so it imports the first video.

Links from x.com and twitter.com both work, with or without `www.`,
`mobile.` or a tracking query like `?s=20`. Anything that is not a post link
is refused before the download starts.

## Quality caps the short side

**Quality** limits the SHORT side of the video, so 1080 keeps a 1080x1920
vertical post at full size. When the post has no rendition at the cap, the
next one down is taken.

## Cookies are a live session, and they travel

Public posts need no cookies. A post X only shows to signed-in viewers
(sensitive media, a protected account) needs an X session: export cookies from
a throwaway X account in Netscape format, paste them into a text node and wire
it to **Cookies**. Whatever you wire is stored with the workflow, goes out with
a shared link, and is frozen into a published Blueprint. Sign that account out
when you are done so the session stops working.
