# Twitter-X-archive-tool

A small python script that will convert a Twitter/X archive into a static HTML page where all old posts can be viewed. See demo on https://arkiv.andersen.one/twitter.

## Features

The purpose of this script was to create an archive of my old Twitter/X profile. The archive will include all posts, but not the comments or retweets that has been made. 

- An introduction with an avatar, name, Twitter/X handle, introduction and number of posts, answers and quote posts. 
- An information that the profile has been moved.
- All posts listed with newest first. 
- A sidebar with search fields and filter buttons. 
- Possible to filter only posts or answers, posts with pictures, links or tags, year or used tags. 

## How to use

The python script must be in same folder as Twitter/X archive, and the archive file must be named "Twitter.zip", and you must include an avatar in the same folder named avatar.png. Run the scrupt in a Linux terminal with Python installed using the code 'python3 generate_archive.py'.

This will generate the static HTML page as index.html. Media files will be included in the subfolder "media". 

The language of the generated Mastodon archive is **danish**. 

## License

The script is published under the GPL 3.0 license or later, which means you can use it and modify it for free.
