Installation

You can install the package with pip:

Or, you can download a source distribution and install with these commands:

$ python setup.py install

Setup

Create a config file at ~/.twphotos specifying your Twitter credentials:

[credentials]
consumer_key = your_consumer_key
consumer_secret = your_consumer_secret
access_token_key = your_access_token_key
access_token_secret = your_access_token_secret

Usage

The simplest usage is to run “twphotos” from command-line without any options. This will download all photos from the current authenticated user (you):

$ twphotos

Download all photos from an existing user other yourself with -u option followed by username:

$ twphotos -u wired

Download n most recent photos from a user using -n followed by number:

$ twphotos -u wired -n 20

Download photos to a directory other than the current one:

$ twphotos -u wired -o /path/to/dir

Enable “incremental download” to download new photos since the last downloads with -i:

$ twphotos -u wired -i

Enable “parallel download” to speedup the downloads using the -r switch:

$ twphotos -u wired -r

Print username, tweet ids, and URLs instead of downloading them with -p switch:

$ twphotos -u wired -p

You can retrieve URLs only with cut command:

$ twphotos -u wired -p | cut -d ' ' -f3
