This tool is a ruby script that will fetch tweets from a Twitter user and condense them into files.

Prerequisites

• You have access to the Twitter API, i.e. you have a Bearer Token. See Getting Access to get started.
• You have the Faraday HTTP Client gem installed: gem install faraday

Update Tweets for Users
