How to download Twitter videos

[Like Ra]

After Elon broke Twitter API (https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/Thread...2#pid66312) all usual methods of downloading (and embedding) videos stopped working. Does anybody know any tricks that can be used now?

For downloading, https://twittervideodownloader.com/download seems to work (until Musk "moves fast and breaks things" ... again).

It will give you the URL to the video file if you click on "Download" after your link has been processed. From there, you can right-click and "save as..."

Just tested with a post from Guisi and it resulted in this link

As for embedding, I guess that is heavily API dependent and hard to circumvent as long as API require a hefty monthly fee.
I expect them to backpaddle on that decision though, that was such a moronic move that the repercussions should even be felt by Musk, it will just take some time to fester enough to be noticed by him.

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp is the answer

Just another "Twitter/X" online option (no software installation), works with X: https://ssstwitter.com/

Lets you choose from available formats/resolutions & can convert to mp3 (have never used the latter)

Is there an easy way to download all media from an Xtwitter account? At least images?

Gallery-dl can do this for all media on a twitter page. Its a great little tool and supports a bunch of places.

True, though, not that easy - you need to extract cookies from the browser: https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl#cookies

On most standard operating systems and browsers it can auto grab the cookies if you tell it to however it does also support standard user:pass combo login for twitter so you can skip the inconvenient cookie grabbing step all together and just log in through gallery-dl to generate a new one.

It does not work for X anymore:
