TwitterDelete

TwitterDelete is a small application to delete your old, unpopular tweets.

Features

  • Delete, unfavorite and unretweet tweets
  • Keep tweets based on age, retweet or favourite count
  • Delete tweets no longer exposed by Twitter API from a downloaded Twitter archive file

Usage

To setup locally run:

git clone https://github.com/mikemcquaid/TwitterDelete
cd TwitterDelete
bundle install

Get the Twitter API variables from https://apps.twitter.com and add the following variables to a .env file in the TwitterDelete folder:

TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=...
TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=...
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=...
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=...

Now run TwitterDelete:

./twitter_delete.rb --user TwitterUsername

Status

Works for deleting relevant tweets. I've deleted all my tweets and don't really use Twitter any more so am not actively working on this but will accept pull requests.
