How to Export your Twitter Following List?

Export your following list manually

To capture your Twitter following list without any add-ons:

1. Open Your Profile’s Following Tab: Log into Twitter, click your avatar, then select Following.‍
2. Scroll to Reveal Everyone: Keep scrolling until every profile you follow has loaded.‍
3. Copy and Paste: Click and drag to select all names and handles on the page. Press Ctrl+C (Windows) or ⌘+C (Mac). Open Google Sheets or Excel and paste (Ctrl+V/⌘+V).‍
4. Clean Up Your Data: Use “Text to Columns” (Sheets: Data → Split text; Excel: Data → Text to Columns) to separate names from handles.

It's a simple copy/paste. However, this method doesn't allow us to centralize these Twitter profiles cleanly, and pasting errors are very common. ❌

How to Export Twitter Likes?

Export Twitter Likes with API

You can export likes using Twitter's API. The Twitter API v2 lets you pull every user who’s liked your tweets in a structured, reliable way. Once you set up a developer account, you tap two endpoints—one to list your liked tweet IDs, another to fetch the users behind each like.

To get started, go to developer.twitter.com, sign up for a free developer account, create a new Project & App, and copy your Bearer Token from the “Keys and Tokens” section—this token lets you authenticate every API call.

1. Get your User ID: "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN" \ "https://api.twitter.com/2/users/by/username/yourhandle.
2. Extract the "ID" value from the JSON response.
3. List Liked Tweet IDs: "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN" \ "https://api.twitter.com/2/users/USER_ID/liked_tweets?max_results=100".
4. Save each "ID" in a List.
5. Use the "next_token" parameter to page through all likes.
6. Fetch Liking Users per Tweet: "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN" \"https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/TWEET_ID/liking_users?user.fields=id,username,name"
7. Collect the returned user objects (id, username, name).
8. Combine & Deduplicate: Merge all user arrays into one collection + Remove duplicate entries so each user appears once.

The API procedure is highly technical and not always suitable for ordinary users.

How to Export Twitter Posts?

Export Twitter Posts Manually via Data Archive

1. Request Your Archive: On twitter.com, go to Settings and privacy → Your account → Download an archive of your data.
2. Re-enter your password and click Request archive.‍
3. Receive & Download: Twitter notifies you by email or in-app when the ZIP is ready (usually within minutes to a few hours). Click the link to download the ZIP file.‍
4. Extract Your Tweets: Unzip the archive and locate the file named tweet.js (or tweets.csv if Twitter provides it). If you have JSON, use a simple converter or script to transform it into CSV.‍
