Purge your tweets and likes

Based on [`koenrh/delete-tweets`](https://github.com/koenrh/delete-tweets) with `unlike` function from [`melissamcewen/unlike.py`](https://gist.github.com/melissamcewen/37125ee31615f3f7f53de47459053bf1).

## Prerequisites

### Configure API access

1. Open [`developer.twitter.com`](https://developer.twitter.com), and [create

  a new app](https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps/create).

1. Get your API keys from the `Keys and tokens` tab

1. `export` your API keys as the following environment variables:

```bash

export TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY="[your consumer key]"

export TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET="[your consumer secret]"

export TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN="[your access token]"

export TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET="[your access token secret]"

```

### Get your Twitter data

1. Open the [Your Twitter data](https://twitter.com/settings/your_twitter_data) page

1. Scroll to the bottom of the page, click `Request data` and wait for the email to arrive.

1. Follow the link in the email to download your Twitter data.

1. Unpack the archive, and **copy** `tweet.js` and `like.js` to the same directory as this script.

### Preprocess `tweet.js` and `like.js`

The first line of both files will contain:

```

window.YTD.like.part0 = [ {

```

Remove:

```

window.YTD.like.part0 = 

```

So that the first line reads: 

```

[ {

```

```

pip install -r requirements.txt

```
