How to archive your Tweets with the Wayback Machine

You can request an archive of all your Tweets from Twitter and upload that archive to the Wayback Machine for your Tweets to be archived.

To request an archive of your Tweets from Twitter see these instructions....

IF you want to save your tweets publicly, the Internet Archive makes this possible.

(And if you don't, email the archive at [email protected] with your request, see: https://help.archive.org/help/how-do-i-request-to-remove-something-from-archive-org/)

@dredmorbius is it possible to archive all my favorited tweets? I will be very sad to lose them. Lots of gems in there.

@Buttlesticks I don't know and am not a Twitter user, so I really don't have exposure to how things work there.

That said: I'd expect that the export would have favourited tweets, and that you'd be able to interact with those in some manner.

(I have worked with data exports from several other platforms and have developed tools to deal with those, most especially anything in JSON data format, a fairly established standard.)

Hopefully others can provide more information.

@Buttlesticks @dredmorbius

The zip file I got when I did this included all my likes, but only the tweet and the tweet ID, and the URL of the tweeit on twitter. No media, and also not the handle of the tweeter.

The dump did not include my bookmarks, which was a significant disappointment.

Addendum, this info is about the Twitter native archive-retrieval process. I have no experience with wayback-mediated methods.

@reid Note that WBM is pulling in your toots specifically, and would be able to recognise and act on outlinks whilst doing that.
