How to get your tweet history since you started using Twitter

Twitter has always maintained the functionality of showing us the number of tweets we have shared. But in this account are included retweets and answers, something that, although it is part of our routine in this social network, makes us think: really how many of these tweets have I written?

Everything we write on Twitter is going to stop its servers, where it will stay until the end of time, well, at least, it seems.

If you want to know what you have shared since day 1 on this social network, you can request a file with all your tweets from the Settings Menu There you will need to request that administrators send to your mail a file with absolutely everything.

How to ask all our tweets story?

It is very easy to have in your computer a folder that contains all your experience in Twitter You only have to enter your profile, click on your avatar until you the menu appears and select "Settings and Privacy". Once there, in the first tab called "Account", you have to scroll down until you see the "File Request" button, belonging to "Your tweets file."

You will get this file with this. However, this is not a PDF where each tweet is viewed separately from another. There are several .js files that you will not be able to view as easily because, as you will see, it has a format that we usually like (unless you are a programmer).

So, how to treat the file that Twitter sends us?

JS means that it is a JavaScrip file, that is, its contents are embedded in that language. The only way to interpret these code fragments that we will see in the file is to use a program that can read in .js and turn it into plain text, as we can read it.

Developer has created a simple program that has been written in Delphi and that manages to decipher what he really says there. Although he can not interpret certain symbols, he does however a fairly acceptable job.

To obtain this program, you must ask Manuel López, its creator, to [email protected]. It will not cost anything, but you may be able to thank him later via Twitter.
