What Should We Do? Work With Twitter’s API Instead of Against It You may also have tried your own “screen scraping,” perhaps with a Python module, but you can be assured that these approaches will all break eventually. If you need Twitter data, you’ve probably seen other “screen scrapers” that try to convince you into buying overpriced proxies, desktop scraping software & whatever else they can squeeze in to unofficially “screen scrape” data from Twitter’s public website. Here's how you do that, using the same tweet I had in the earlier section.What Twitter Scrapers Don’t Want You to Know Unfortunately, there is currently no version of this app for Android. You can find the GIFwrapped app here for iOS. OK, but if you simply must save the GIF from Twitter, and if you have an iPhone, then the easiest choice is likely the app GIFwrapped. Chances are, if you saw it on Twitter, it exists elsewhere and is just a Google query away. Resources like GIPHY and other image-focused sites have tons of GIFs that are super easy to save to your phone. The long and short of it: You're going to need an app to save Twitter GIFs on your phone.Ī small interjection here: It might just be easier to Google the GIF you're looking for, at this point, especially if you do not feel like downloading a new app.
Once again, since GIFs are effectively videos without sound on Twitter, the saving process is far more complicated than it would be for a still image.

There is also the save button, but a right click lets you choose the name of the GIF. When you right-click the GIF, you'll see a button pop-up that reads "Copy GIF Address." It should look like this. Apologies in advance for how many steps this entails. Now that we've located a good GIF, let's walk through the steps for saving it on your computer. After all, I love this show and I love to eat. I love the sketch show I Think You Should Leave and the many memes it has spawned, so I thought it might be nice to save this GIF from the show. Here, we will walk you through saving a GIF from Twitter on your computer and your phone.įirst, we need to select a GIF to save. But once you master the process, you can take a fun GIF from Twitter and add it to your library in no time at all. The task isn't difficult, necessarily, but it does take a few more steps than you might've previously thought. That's cool, too, but unfortunately a bit more involved than you might think. Now you want to save it for your own personal use. That's cool, good for you, seems like fun.
