Tweedy

Twitter Delete Yourself is a Go application for deleting your Tweets, while preserving part of your history for n amount of time. It also supports consuming a Twitter JSON backup once you convert the tweet.js to tweet.json by opening it up, removing the variable, and leaving only the array.

Usage

1. API Key

Get

Visit https://developer.twitter.com, and then sign in, and go to Username > Apps | Create an App, and fill in the form in as much detail as possible. Be prepared to wait a day or two, for me it took an hour (as I already had an app,) for some people it might take longer, so don't get upset if you don't get approved instantly.

Set

export TWITTER_TOKEN=""
export TWITTER_TOKEN_SECRET=""
export TWITTER_SECRET_KEY=""
export TWITTER_KEY=""

2. Download

Binary

mv ~/Downloads/<Binary> /usr/local/bin/tweedy

3. Use

tweedy --user=<Handle> \
  --keep=<Days>
