Remove your Twitter likes

remove-twitter-likes.js

// [Noted in the comments below on 2023-10 - this script might not work very well anymore due to Elon ruining Twitter]
// [Updated 2021-01-18 w/new selectors]
// go to your account Likes page and run this in the console:

function scrollToLoadMore() {
	// keep scrolling if twitter tries to stop loading more.
	// scroll up, then down to force infinite load.
	window.scrollTo(0, 0);	
	setTimeout(function() {
		window.scrollBy(0, 9999999999);
	}, 200);
}

function removeTweet(tweetEl) {
	// show it
	tweetEl.style.backgroundColor = 'rgba(255,0,0,0.5)';
	tweetEl.scrollIntoView();
	window.scrollBy(0, -150);
	// remove it
	setTimeout(function() {
		tweetEl.parentNode.removeChild(tweetEl);
	}, 750);
}

function removeFav() {
	let buttonEl = document.querySelector('[data-testid="unlike"]');
	if(buttonEl) {
		let tweetEl = buttonEl.closest('article');
		if(tweetEl) {
			buttonEl.click();
			removeTweet(tweetEl);
		}
	} else {
		console.log('No Tweets found');
		scrollToLoadMore();
	}
}

let unfavInterval = setInterval(removeFav, 1500);

How do I use this?

Works excellent, thank you.

Thanks for sharing this. Still works as of 12/7/22!

Seemed to do the trick for me at time of posting!

Twitter must have set more aggressive limits, as I very quickly got a 429, and it looks like it will take more than 24 hours to refresh. It makes this pretty useless, given the 10s of thousands of likes I want to remove.

Thanks for the heads up @wadewegner. I'm not surprised, given how much things have degraded over there. There were limits before now - I wanted to wipe all of my likes, but the site wouldn't load likes past a certain point, so I couldn't get to the last ~9,000 of my own.
