Command-line tool to get photos from Twitter accounts.
Project description
Twitter Photos is a command-line tool to get photos from Twitter accounts.
Installation
You can install the package with pip:
Or, you can download a source distribution and install with these commands:
How It Works
The command-line front-end of Twitter Photos, “twphotos”, downloads photos from specified Twitter accounts into individual directories each named after username. It hits the Twitter API as little as possible to retrieve photos links and download each link separately. You can view the links yourself and pipe them to other programs such as wget. You can specifiy photo size, number of photos to get, and whether to download only new photos since last downloads.
Setup
Create a config file at ~/.twphotos specifying your Twitter credentials (you can create an app and get your keys at Twitter Application Management):
Note that the values on the right side of = should not contain the quotes; they are just themselves since this file is in INI format.
Usage
The simplest usage is to run “twphotos” from command-line without any options. This will download all photos from the current authenticated user (you):
Download all photos from an existing user other than yourself with -u option followed by username. “twphotos” will automatically create a directory with the specified username and put downloaded photos in there:
Download n most recent photos from a user using -n followed by number:
![]()
Download photos to a directory other than the current one:
Enable “incremental download” to download new photos since the last downloads with -i:
Enable “parallel download” to speedup the downloads using the -r switch:
Print username, tweet ids, and URLs instead of downloading them with -p switch:
Exclude replies tweets using -e switch:
Download small-sized photos
You can retrieve URLs only with cut command:
Command-line Options

Hashes for twitter-photos-0.4.0.tar.gz
Recently one of our clients came to us with a problem. Their computer has been stolen, together with tons of images they used on their website and social media. But they found a way how to save at least some of the images. They found out that they can download them all from Twitter. So they downloaded their Twitter profile archive, but got stuck on how to actually get to the images and came to us for help.
First things first, how do you download your Twitter archive?
Download the Twitter archive, unpack the file – and you'll find.. That the images are not there.
Once you have the archive, you have to find index.html, the archive browser interface provided in the downloaded file, and you can browse all your tweets with photos. Except those photos are saved on Twitter servers and not on your computer. So I was looking for a quick and easy way to download them.
Very soon I found I'm not going to download the images by hand. Firstly, there were too many images, and moreover, they had very random names such as aovOSMvLW8Zlf.jpg.
Then I stumbled upon this nice little script written by Marcin Wichary. The script is called twitter-export-image-fill. It was initially released in 2016 and the most recent update was a month ago and it had good reviews 241, so I supposed it is worth a try. I downloaded the ZIP file and read the instructions:
I've already done the first 4 items on the list, so the only thing that's left to do was to run the script. Most computer users probably won't have any issues with downloading the archive and the script, but how does one run it? If you're already familiar with command line, then just run the code. However, if don't know where to start, it's explained in detail below.
The script ends with '.py' which means it's written in Python. To run a Python script, you have to have Python installed on your computer first. Find the latest release here, and install it as any other app.
Now move the twitter-export-image-fill.py file from the downloaded script to the root folder of your Twitter archive. That means it will be in the main folder where the index.html browser interface is saved.
Note: At this point, I will continue to write about how to do this on a Mac. I don't think it's not that different on a PC.
Open Terminal. It's a command line app that is built into your OS X. https://hospitalclever404.weebly.com/blog/photomatix-essentials-41-mac-download. At first sight, it looks like a TextEdit (Notepad), but the lines you write there behave like commands and actually do stuff.
First you want to let Terminal know in which folder you want to work in. Type in 'cd' (stands for 'change directory') and the path to the archive folder. Example:
Hit Enter.
Although it might look like nothing much happened, you're on the right track, Now type:
Download Images From Twitter Account MacbookHit Enter. The script should start running right now. If the Terminal's answer is 'Scanning' and 'XY images/videos downloaded', then all is good.
You can also check your Twitter archive folder. Open the main folder, then navigate through these sub-folders: /main folder/data/js/tweets/. In the /tweets folder, you will find images divided into folders according to date when they were published. The folders' name structure is year_month_media (e.g. 2017_02_media) and the images have similarly structured names, too. This is a nice feature because you don't end up with a bunch of randomly-named images all mixed together.
And there's one more interesting thing that caught my attention during downloading the photos. The script has this small disclaimer:
Twitter For Mac
If you have loads and loads of photos, the download process can last quite some time. Mine took a few hours, so I decided I will test this feature. I started the download in the office on my laptop. In the evening I simply closed my computer, with the script running, and went home. The script stopped, obviously. To resume the script, just type in the same commands as you did when you started, and the download will resume. When finished, you'll get this answer (of course with numbers relevant to you):
