X (Twitter)

A copy of your account data from X (formerly Twitter).

How to get it

  1. In Settings and privacy, go to Download your data.
  2. Click Request archive (you may have to verify your login first).
  3. Wait for the archive to be available, then download it. It may take several days.

Expected format

The downloaded archive can be imported as-is; or you may extract it first.

What is imported

  • Posts (formerly tweets)
  • Uploaded media
  • Direct messages

Notes

X's data archive does not include any usernames or display names of any other users, so when importing DMs, many unnamed entities with only a X account ID will be created.

The archive does it contain the contents of quoted posts.
