TwitterMediaDownloadSync

Keeps a local folder of twitter artists up to date with their media images, run to keep in sync. [Python2][Mac OS X]

This is, more or less, a modified version of pixivRoot.py.
For additional help and instructions, please visit that repo https://github.com/sliceofcake/PixivMediaScraper, since that program is basically the same and has a more detailed readme.

Instructions:
(1) Put twitterRoot.py in some folder on your computer. Navigate to that folder in your Command Line Interface.
(2) Run it with [python twitterRoot.py]. Since it's your first time doing so, a blank userIDA.txt file will be created in the folder. Fill that file with twitter handles, one per line.
(3) Run it with [python twitterRoot.py]. Artist folders containing their media files will be created within your main folder.
(4) Run it anytime in the future to download undownloaded media files.

twittermediadownloadsync's Issues

No longer working - twitter seems to have changed

Script is no longer sensing any images on scan. The previously-depended-on [https://twitter.com/i/profiles/show/[[[USERNAME_HERE]]]/media_timeline] url now goes to an error page that's missing the required data. Script will be nonfunctional until whatever new method they're using is adjusted to.
