    Pin Tweet to IPFS













## Availability









[Firefox support coming soon...](https://github.com/meandavejustice/pin-tweet-to-ipfs/issues/6)

## Features

Pin Tweet to IPFS is a [web extension](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions) targetting less-technical users who wish to archive Tweets in a verifiable way. It uses [IPFS](https://ipfs.tech/), [WebRecorder](https://webrecorder.net/), and [web3.storage](https://web3.storage/) to achieve this.

## How does it work?

We are using a new tool, ["save tweet now"](https://webrecorder.github.io/save-tweet-now) from the [WebRecorder](https://webrecorder.net/) team to create a verifiable [WebArChiveZip](https://specs.webrecorder.net/wacz/1.1.1/) files of tweets. We then assist the user in uploading these "WACZ" files to the IPFS network via [web3.storage](https://web3.storage). Here users can store all of their archived tweets in one place, and easily access them via their own IPFS node or other pinning services.

## Installing and Running

1. Check if your [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) version is >= **19**.

  const url = document.location.href.match(/https:\/\/twitter.com\/(\w){1,15}\/status\/(\d)*/)[0];

  if (url) window.open(`https://webrecorder.github.io/save-tweet-now/#url=${url}&autoupload=1`);

})();

```
