I'm looking to automate downloading twitter posts, including media, that I have bookmarked

It would be nice if there was a tool that also downloaded the media associated with the post as well and then within each post would link to the path on the computer where the file was stored. And when it was unable to download say a video it would also report that it had a download error for the video (such that i can do it manually later). I believe such a setup doesn't exist yet.

I guess this approach downloading using twitter archives is the best I can get?

Issue:

  • twitter archives doesn't inlcude bookmarked tweets.
  • Does include "likes" but no media is included in the likes, and I have way too many liked posts that I don't want to store.
  • Organizing tweets is too hard because every time you download an archive you download everything anew

One solution to not including bookmarks could be to retweet everything I have bookmarked, and then start to retweet everything to make it store in the archive.
