extract-x-bookmarks

Written by ChatGPT, not me.

Works fine.

Requirements

• Python
• Dependencies in requirements.txt

Usage

• Create a virtual environment if you want (uv venv .venv or whatever), then activate it. (This is absolutely optional).

• Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Now, to get the Cloudflare cookies, this is quickest way I use:

  • Download the Cookie-Editor extension.
  • Open your browser and go to Twitter.
  • Open the Cookie-Editor extension, press the export button (bottom right) and export as Header String. (It will copy it to the clipboard).
  • Open the terminal, and run (the python file):

  python isolate_cookies.py
  

  • Paste the clipboard content.
  • It will then put the two needed cookies into creds.txt, which the script will use.
    • If you want to do that without installing the extension, the creds.txt file will have the following format:

    auth_token=blablabla;ct0=blablabla
    

• A few things to know before running the script:

  • It will create a bookmarks.txt file with the URLs of your bookmarks.
  • The script reads all paginated bookmark responses and, by default, keeps running until there are no bookmarks left.
  • Write mode defaults to append (a) so new runs continue the timeline in order (newest first to oldest).
    • If needed, you can still choose interactively with python main.py --mode ask.
  • It will take some time in the end to unbookmark the fetched bookmarks. Each time 10 new bookmarks are unbookmarked, it will print a message.

• Run the script until you have all your bookmarks extracted:

python main.py
