x-cli

I use the "t" cli thingy (https://github.com/sferik/t) to pull a list of who I follow ("followings") and then create/update a list based on it.

Assuming Twitter mutuals means "users I follow and who follow me back", I'd like to recommend the great `t` gem, a Ruby CLI that even though it's a bit dated, is still one of the easiest tools to setup and use on a regular basis: https://github.com/sferik/t Gathering mutuals in CSV format (making it easy to sort by number of followers, tweets, location, etc) is as easy as: $ t friends --csv > my-twitter-mutuals.csv It's been awhile since I've looked at the source code, but the library does a good job of using the most efficient/least-restrictive calls. I have about 6,000 mutuals out of all my followers and folllowings and the `t` tool takes about 10 seconds to do all the calls needed.

Twitter (and their API) is horribly broken and inconsistent. There is twint [0], which bypasses the API and just scrapes their website to circumvent API limitations. The wrong number of favorites could be cached and it will go a way after a day or two, or it might be favorites on Tweets you can't see (because you're blocked, or the account is private, or the Tweet/account has been deleted). As __bee said in another comment, you can request your Tweet archive and get the Tweet IDs from the CSV (I've seen a handful of Tweets of mine that were not in the CSV, but those are very rare). At least for deleting Tweets, there is no rate limit. Twitter also won't show your own Retweets when the original Tweet is no longer visible to you (although they might be included in the CSV) and made it impossible to interact with those. It used to be possibl

There is also t which is a CLI app written in Ruby: https://github.com/sferik/t.

Actually you can, see: https://github.com/sferik/t/blob/7f1fcac61047dcb703e9519c837... this is because the OP's own twitter ruby gem can do that, this CLI app is basically a front end for the ruby gem client.update_with_media("I'm tweeting with @gem!", File.new("/path/to/media.png")) https://github.com/sferik/twitter/blob/48efb642beaa19355a4c1...

I'm using https://github.com/sferik/t is this better

Too bad it conflicts with t [0], the Twitter client. [0]: https://github.com/sferik/t

This is getting ridiculous: https://github.com/sferik/t/pull/142/files https://github.com/sferik/t/pull/143/files https://github.com/sferik/t/pull/144/files Shameless.

The problem with this funding model is that it encourages fluff pull requests, such as this one: https://github.com/sferik/t/pull/138/files. If there was no financial incentive, I would probably merge it but now I'm questioning the motivations of the committer. If I merge this, it means there will be less money for someone else, who makes a more significant contribution in the future. Personally, I prefer Gittip’s model to incentivize open-source contributions, if only because it doesn’t create this kind of noise for project maintainers.

It's definitely confusing. I'm not sure what the best strategy for tweet archiving is. They might cut Pinboard off at some time, and they might disallow services that post on your behalf like Buffer. Personally, I use https://github.com/sferik/t to archive my posts, as well as Pinboard.
