# tweet dumper

A tool to retrieve all possible tweets from an user. 

# How to use it

Download the zip file from this repository to your computer and unzip it. 

Open the file `tweet_dumper.py` and insert the following information:

```

# EDIT THIS!

# Twitter API credentials - https://apps.twitter.com/

consumer_key = ""

consumer_secret = ""

access_key = ""

access_secret = ""`

```

You will need to create an app, with your Twitter credentials, at https://apps.twitter.com to get this information.

Open a console in your computer, go to the directory of the file `tweet_dumper.py`, and write `python tweet_dumper.py twitter_handle`.

A CSV with all possible tweets should be created in the same directory of your unzipped folder.
