grabit is a set of Python and Bash scripts that scrapes a tweet through a given frontend, downloads the associated image and some metadata, and packages it in a format that's easy to import with Hydrus.

For example, running

grabit.nitter https://nitter.poast.org/yabumamemame/status/1577204305924304896

will generate three files in /tmp:

  1. media_FeNa89IaYAEVaot.jpg
  2. media_FeNa89IaYAEVaot.jpg.tags.txt
  3. media_FeNa89IaYAEVaot.jpg.urls.txt

grabit.nitter is (was?) known to work with:

  • nitter.poast.org
  • nitter.lucabased.xyz

grabit.twstalker is specially made for twstalker.com.

grabit.curl will work with nitter.privacyredirect.com as of 2025-10-10, and is useful for systems that can't install chromedriver for some reason.
