this is mainly just a personal project to download media from my tweets. maybe it might help someone else, too, who knows.
for downloading your tweet images, just run the binary on an extracted archive:
twitter-media-archiver archive/
it'll output what files have been downloaded/skip ones that already exist.
video download not supported since the archive doesn't store a reference to the
video/gif and I don't want to bother adding in Twitter scraping functionality.
you have to use something like youtube-dl (which requires the tweet to be
public). you can grab a list of video tweets and use youtube-dl like:
twitter-media-archiver --videos archive/ | xargs youtube-dl -o "%(uploader_id)s.%(id)s.%(ext)s"
