I was looking for tracking my unfollowers in Twitter. Yet, online services require bunch of unnecessary permissions, which I don't like to give. So, I wrote this simple script.
This python script dumps number of Twitter followers and ID and screen name of followers at that moment. Useful for simple tracking of unfollowers or new followers. (Dump script output to file now and then, and then inspect diff for unfollowers or new followers)
- Install python.
- Get API keys from Twitter's developer platform if you don't have already. Replace
REPLACE_THIS
parts in below script with consumer/access token keys/secrets. Update: Applications for new Twitter API keys requires review and approval by Twitter staff now. So, this step may take some time.
