twitter-export-image-fill

(shamelessly ripped off from Marcin Wichary's Python project of the same name)

Twitter allows you to download your tweet archive, but that archive doesn’t contain your images. Ergo, it is not really an archive.

This script:

• downloads all the images from your tweets locally
• rewrites the archive files so that they point to the local images

Instructions

1. Request your Twitter archive from the bottom of https://twitter.com/settings/account.
2. Wait for the email.
3. Download the archive from the email.
4. Unpack it somewhere.
5. Go to the root directory of that archive and run twitter-export-image-fill.js there (using terminal/command line).

Note: You can interrupt the script at any time and run it again – it should start where it left off.

Details

• The script downloads the images in highest quality.
• The original versions of modified JavaScript files are saved for reference.

FAQ

Does this work on Windows?

Developed on Windows, so sure.

How about MacOS or Linux?

It's intended to run on Node.js, so sure.

Does this download videos in addition to images?

Not sure. Probably not. Let me know if you know!
