How to download the whole X Twitter profile media?

[Pandaa-P]

I want to download the whole Twitter profile media, every single image, and every video. not a single tweet, not a thread but the whole profile.
Like @TwitterUserHere for example, I want to download every image and video he posted on his Twitter profile.
How can I do that?

Okay, so given that the handle on Twitter you want to download is @TwitterUserHere, the Twitter URL of that user would be:

https://twitter.com/TwitterUserHere

It's not trivial to reach old stuff on an account, but you should try to start with this:

gallery-dl "https://twitter.com/TwitterUserHere/media"
gallery-dl "https://twitter.com/TwitterUserHere"
gallery-dl "https://twitter.com/search?q=(from:HANDLE+filter:media+until:YYYY-MM-DD)"

You should also set up your Twitter extraction options according to your preferences in your gallery-dl config file.

The relevant options are basically this:

            "cards": true,
            "conversations": true,
            "logout": true,
            "pinned": true,
            "quoted": true,
            "replies": "self",
            "retweets": true,
            "text-tweets": true,
            "twitpic": true,
            "videos": true,

            "users": "media",
            "skip": true,
            "fallback": true,
            "blacklist": "",

Most of these are pretty self-explanatory..

The "replies" can be set to true instead of "self", but note that this will get you all media content from replies under every Tweet..
(Every Tweet from that user, obviously... not.. every Tweet on Twitter)

Where can I find the config file? I use the Pre-built executable, I didn't use git clone or python pip. I searched and couldn't find it.

The config file locations are the same no matter which way you installed gdl, see the readme for parts specific for your OS.

@Pandaa-P The config files do not exist.

You have to create them first.
The locations that are mentioned in the config file section (linked above) are merely the paths that are used by gallery-dl to look for the config files, i.e. they are automatically loaded from these places - if they are present.

I think I'll add something to the gallery-dl wiki, a minimal example for Twitter or something, soon-ish
