Changes

This project was using Twint but has now shifted to Twitter's front-end API and GraphQL API

Usage

1. install youtube-dl with pip install youtube-dl
2. install requests with pip install requests
3. find your GraphQL endpoint and Bearer token from Twitter (details below)
4. edit main.py and put your GraphQL endpoint and Bearer token accordingly
5. optional: if you want to store archived tweets(json, image and video) to directory other than data you need to change it in main.py and base.py

Find your GraphQL endpoint and Bearer token

1. open any twitter user's profile (e.g. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump)
2. right-click anywhere in your browser and select inspect (for Chrome. other browser may have different naming)
3. go to Network tab. select XHR as the filter
4. find a GET call to UserByScreenName endpoint. you may need to refresh the page for network inspector to record
5. the request url will have the format like this graphql/YOUR_GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT/UserByScreenName? copy the graphql endpoint
6. the request headers will have an authorization header with format like this Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN copy the bearer token

TODO

• add config file for more flexible configuration
• add ability to view follower-only content (has to be logged in)
• store retweeted media in tweeter's directory
• add logger for different level of log output
• add fronend for archived tweets management
