Forked from ChunaraLab/Fetching-Twitter-Followers

This is a simple python script used to list down people who you follow but are not following you back. It can be used to detect people who have unfollowed you. I know it's a childish concept, but let's admit that we all care about this piece of information to some degree.

• Clone: git clone https://github.com/penafieljlm/twitter-unfollowers.git
• Install python-twitter pip install python-twitter
• Create config file (see below): vi config.json
• Launch script in the shell: python twitter-unfollowers.py

You will need a config.json file in order to run the script.

Here is a sample configuration:

{
  "twitter": {
    "consumer_key": "...",
    "consumer_secret": "...",
    "access_token_key": "...",
    "access_token_secret": "..."
  },
  "accounts": ["someaccount", "anotherusername", "anotheryetagain", "etc"]
}

• Create a new Twitter app: https://apps.twitter.com/app/new
• Generate the needed access tokens by using one of the methods described here (either use the get_access_token.py or generate it via Twitter).
• /followers/ids API: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/followers/ids
