Twitter Toolz

Various handy Twitter API tools made in Ruby and to be run from the command line. See the "Run" section for a list of some commands.

Install

Requires Ruby 2.3.0 or higher. Run bundler to install required gems.

$ bundle install

Configure

Copy the file sample.config.yml to config.yml and edit it, replacing the example information with your API keys. The file format is very similar to what Twurl produces, so I recommend that tool. You will of course have to set register your Twitter application with Twitter first.

twitter-toolz support multiple Twitter profiles (accounts). Just add authorization information for each, as shown in the sample.config.yml file.

Run

Run dostuff to see a list of commands:

$ ./dostuff

Then run your commands like so:

$ ./dostuff csvdelete mytwitter ~/archive.csv

List of Commands

• addtolist - Quickly add someone to the provided list name.
• csvdelete - Delete all tweets using the archive.csv file you get from your Twitter archive as an index. This is the most reliable way I've found to delete all tweets.
• importlist - Import members captured in a .txt file (maybe other formats coming soon) to a list.
• processfriends - Iterate randomly through each of your friends, show some information, and offer options for unfollowing, adding to lists, etc.
• prunenonmutuals - Unfollow all nonmutual followers.
• softprune - Softblock (block then unblocks, thus making them unfollow you) all nonmutuals (in this case, accounts that you don't follow back). Good for "securing" locked accounts.
