Can You Export Tweets from Twitter Directly?
Twitter itself offers a way to download your own data, but it’s not always convenient or user-friendly. You can request your Twitter archive, but the process can take time, and the data isn’t always structured in a way that’s easy to analyze. If you need a quick and efficient solution, third-party tools are usually the way to go.
