This script allows you to scrape images from your favorite tweets on Twitter and save them to a SQLite database file.
It will only scrape tweets that were posted after the last scraping date you specified in the configuration file, so you don't have to worry about scraping the same tweets multiple times. Optionally, you can also download the images to your computer.
See the Configuration section for more information. It uses the Tweepy library to access the Twitter API.

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/weazzylee/tw-image-scrapper.git
2. Move into the project directory: cd tw-image-scrapper
3. Install the dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Fill in the config.ini file with your Twitter API credentials and file paths. See the Configuration section for more information.
5. Run the script: python run.py

You need to fill in the config.ini file before running the script. Here is an example configuration file:

[Twitter API]
consumer_key = YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY
consumer_secret = YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET
access_token = YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
access_token_secret = YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

[File Paths]
database_file = /path/to/database.db

[Options]
save_images = True

[Scraping]
last_scraping_date = 2023-05-28 12:00:00

Replace YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY, YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET, YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN, and YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET with your own Twitter API credentials. Also, specify the correct path to the SQLite database file.
last_scraping_date is the date and time of the last scraping. The script will only scrape tweets that were posted after this date.
If you want to scrape all tweets, set this value to 1970-01-01 00:00:00. The date and time must be in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.

The script uses a SQLite database to store information about the images. The database file is specified in the [File Paths] section of the configuration file. By default, if the database file doesn't exist, it will be created automatically when the script is executed.

save_images is a boolean value that indicates whether the images should be downloaded to your computer or not. If you set it to False, the images will only be saved to the database.
If save_images is set to True, the images will be saved in the images directory. The directory will be created automatically if it doesn't exist.
