A tampermonkey script to make the archival of tweets easier. This script adds a copy button to the right side of a Tweet which exports the tweet in a CSV format, perfect for inserting into a spreadsheet.
Why?: I wanted to archive tweets, but elon musk doesn't let me access the twitter API anymore
How?: Now that archiving tweets through the API is more difficult, one of the easiest ways to archive tweets is with a basic 'copy' button
This script is based off of screw-hand's amazing script share-tweet-copy.
I modified screw-hand's script to instead export tweets in a CSV format, that way they're easier to paste into a spreadsheet. I also added the tweet date and media URL fields.
Consider the below tweet from @github.
Copying this tweet results in the following being added to your clipboard:

When split into a table, this leads to the following data:

This is basically just a dirty hack on top of screw-hand's existing script. Go check out screw-hand's other scripts, they're great and they built all of the base functionality!
