### Setting Up
Generate your twitter API keys from, copy `config.py.example` to `config.py` and update it with the generated twitter keys.
TWDL depends on tweepy so you would need to install it using `pip install tweepy`.
Once tweepy is installed, all you need to do is run `python twdl.py --url=tweet_url` and voila! your tweet media gets downloaded (of course, that only happens if the tweet contains a gif or media).
### Flags
twdl accepts two CLI arguments:
```bash
--url: This is the complete link to the tweet (not just the tweet ID)
--filename: By default, twdl stores the file with same name as the name it gets from twitter. Use the --filename flag to override this with your preferred file name.
```
