For those who have downloaded their #Twitter archive data, you might want to check out this Twitter Archive parser by @timhutton:

https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

This converts your Tweet archive to #markdown and HTML, and replaces t.co URLs (which will break once Twitter goes away) with their original versions.

Afterwards, it asks if you want to try downloading the original size images.

Just ran this myself without any major issues, really easy to use as well.

@bitsgalore @timhutton I am on Mac and not savvy enough to figure out the process and instructions without spending hours learning it. But I’m sure this helps a lot of people! Awesome!

@susybotello @bitsgalore @timhutton If this helps, here's what I did on Mac:

First, install Xcode from App Store. Then, in terminal:

> xcode-select --install
> sudo port install wget
> wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser/main/parser.py
> sudo port install python311
> sudo port select --set python python311
> sudo port install py311-pip
> sudo port select --set pip pip311
> sudo port install py311-requests

[change your active directory to your twitter archive folder]

> python parser.py

@lukethelibrarian @susybotello @bitsgalore Needs the wget call to get the script?
