I was searching for a way to download Twitter data and this tool can do it.
Here are some examples:
How to download a list of all Twitter followers
Here’s an example of how to download a list of Twitter followers:
$ t followers username > twitter_followers.txt
Change username to your username.
How to unfollow people who don’t follow you back
If you want to unfollow most people who don’t follow you back, first create a list of those people:
$ t leaders username > leaders.txt
Edit the leaders.txt file. Then run a script like this to unfollow all the usernames in that file:
while IFS= read -r line
do
echo "unfollowing: $line"
t unfollow "$line"
sleep 1
done < leaders.txt
