Twitter: How to archive your following/followers data (usernames, etc)

Twitter allows users to download parts of their data, see How to download your Twitter archive.

But what's not included in that data dump is the usernames/handles of the people that you follow or are following you. All you get is account IDs which is just an internal number and so a bit useless when it comes to archival.

Here's a way to get that data (you need to know how to run stuff in the terminal):

  1. Go to your Twitter profile in a desktop browser (Firefox or Chrome)
  2. Right click on page → Inspect → Network tab
  3. Click on the Following link (e.g. https://twitter.com/{yourusername}/following)
