Project: tweetarchive

A lightweight tool to archive your Twitter feed in plaintext CSV format.

tweetarchive is a simple python script to archive historical tweets in .csv format, freeing your data from a single centralised point of storage. It also enables you to browse your feed with standard text tools (grep, perl, etc).

Features:

• uses the tweepy library with oauth for protected accounts
• only archives tweets created since your previous export
• writes CSV output with user-specified format - so select what fields you'd like to archive
• uses time delays to avoid hitting load throttling
• client-side, meaning no need to give third-party apps access to your auth tokens
