boxed-chirps

A small utility to archive Twitter threads into machine-friendly jsons and human-friendly pdfs (not yet implemented).

To use (from sources):

  1. Make sure you have Google Chrome installed.
  2. Run npm install and npm run build.css
  3. Run node src/index.js for the first time to setup the config file and database.
  4. Fill your Twitter API token in the config file.
  5. Run node src/index.js -li to login to a Twitter account.
  6. Run node src/index.js <full tweet url> to start archiving! (full tweet url example: https://twitter.com/izfaruqi/status/1234567882350000)

Steps 1-5 only needs to be run once. You can use the -nq flag before the url to disable quote tweet fetching.
