From Source Code

1. Clone this repo and enter the directory.
2. Run npm install or yarn install.
3. Create a new Twitter app and grab the consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token_key, and access_token_secret.
4. (Optional) If you want to run this from other directories run npm install -g. This allows you to use CLI utility just by running flyaway. Without this step you'll have to run npm start [...remaining_args] from the directory or node path/to/flyaway/index.js [...remaining args].

Usage

This requires having a csv of your tweets and a Twitter app and credentials for the app and for the user whose tweets are being deleted. You can get the file by requesting your Twitter archive. You need the file tweets.csv. You can create a new Twitter app and grab the consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token_key, and access_token_secret for the user that generated the app.

Once you have the app installed and the required Twitter assets you can run it like this:

flyaway -f path/to/tweets.csv \ # specify the location of the tweets file
--ck=[consumer_key] \ # specify the Twitter consumer key for the app
--cs=[consumer_secret] \ # specify the Twitter consumer secret for the app
--atk=[access_token_key] \ # specify the Twitter access token key for the user
--ats=[access_token_secret] # specify the Twitter access token secret for the user
