how to do a massive download of twitter accounts photos - conspir4cy - 11-09-2019

REQUIREMENTS: python3 installed on system (this example is using linux based os)
git-core for cloning repository

FIRST: goto https://developer.twitter.com/
then signup as developer, and wait for confirmation (is totally FREE Biggrin

)

2 - create an app (no need coding skills at all)

3- do a git clone https://github.com/morinokami/twitter-image-downloader

note: it runs on the fly, doesn't need to be installed

4- open your app in twitter dev and copy first 2 codes. and create a file like this

Code:
{
  "api_key": "FIRST_CONSUMER_KEY",
  "api_secret": "SECOND_CONSUMER_KEY"
}

save it as any name you want into twitter-image-downloader (by example keys.json)

5- then copy this (replace "ubuntu" for the username of the profile you want to get photos, and "user" for the username of the system account):

Code:
python3 twitter-image-downloader/twt_img.py -c twitter-image-downloader/keys.json -s large ubuntu /home/user/downloadedph && python3 twitter-image-downloader/twt_img.py -c twitter-image-downloader/keys.json -s orig ubuntu /home/user/downloadedph

you may, of course, replace destination folder for any place you want

note: if you run this script into twitter-image-downloader folder, you must just delete "twitter-image-downloader/" from the script Biggrin

save the file as: downtwitter.sh (or any name you want) in home folder and run it as:

Code:
sh downtwitter.sh

wait for the photos get downloaded

done!

Cool

of course, you may do a multiple account download just copying and pasting several lines with different usernames
