python program to download all pictures/videos from a twitter account's liked tweets

Twitter-Likes-Media-Downloader

Download all media from liked tweets from a Twitter account by using the Tweet IDs from a data export.

This is a fork of https://github.com/reinhartP/twitter-likes-media-downloader, which loaded the list of likes by querying Twitter's API. This had the limitation that only the newest ~3000 liked tweets could be fetched. The data export offered by Twitter however contains the IDs of all liked tweets, so we can use that to download the media of every liked tweet.

Instructions

• Request a download of your Twitter data at https://twitter.com/settings/download_your_data

• Create an application at https://developer.twitter.com, try to answer the questionnaire in a way that makes them accept your request

• Replace the first line in data/like.js with [ and filter out the tweet ids with jq -r .[].like.tweetId like.js > like.txt

• Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt

• Generate base config file with python twitter_likes.py -g

• Fill in config file config.json with API keys

• Run with python twitter_likes.py -u "twitter username" --id-dump likes.txt
