Twitter Picture Downloader is a PHP application/concept used to search for pictures from a twitter users timeline. The search depends on the the users twitter handle(eg: @maail) and the amount of their tweets you want to query.(eg:10. Maximum amount supported is 3120)
Twitter Picture Downloader currently supports pictures uploaded directly to Twitter.com and Instagram picture links directly share to twitter from Instagram. If you need any other picture services those can be added. Although I don’t think most of the picture services are currently used by users.
You can view the downloaded pictures with the a lightbox modal effect. You can also delete these pictures. If you want to show these in a grid layout format like Pinterest etc you can try checking out the jQuery Masonry plugin. I haven’t added them since their might be copyright issues.
This application can be used for a variety of purposes:
- To make backup of your pictures posted to twitter
- Download pictures from another user. Due to twitter API limitations Private/Locked accounts cannot be queried.
- You can make another application out of the TwitSearch Class, used to download and sort out the photos. (Which would need the extended license.)
- The sky is the limit
If you make anything using the application I would love to hear about it. Send me an email to [email protected]
