Feature Request: Output in CSV format

[sw17ch]

Download as much history as possible. Save someplace locally.

I don't think t should be responsible for the "save someplace locally" part. You can just direct the output to a file using >.

However, it might be interesting to create a flag that generates output in CSV or TSV format.

Currently, the command that comes closes to what you're trying to do is:

t timeline -l -n 200 > tweets.txt

Conceivably, I could modify the command to get up to 800 statuses instead of 200 (this is the limitation imposed by Twitter), so you could do something like:

t timeline --csv -n 800 > tweets.csv

Would that solve your problem?

[sw17ch]

this would be great. i think that a raw dump of the json formatted data
from twitter would be more useful than CSV though.

If the raw JSON response if what you seek, you may want to try twurl: https://github.com/marcel/twurl
