How to Request Your X/Twitter Archive

Request Your Archive from X

XeetDelete works from your full tweet archive, which you need to request directly from X. This gives you access to your entire history — unlike the API which limits you to 3,200 tweets.

  1. Log in to X (x.com) on a desktop browser.
  2. Go to Settings and PrivacyYour AccountDownload an archive of your data.
  3. Click Request archive. You'll need to verify your identity.
  4. Wait for X to prepare your archive — this usually takes 24 hours, sometimes longer.
  5. You'll receive an email when it's ready. Go back to the same settings page and click Download.
  6. Extract the downloaded ZIP file.
  7. Find the file called tweets.js inside the data folder — this is what you'll upload to XeetDelete. Large archives are split into tweets-part1.js, tweets-part2.js, and so on — you'll upload all of the part files.
Note
The archive can take anywhere from a few hours to several days. If it's been more than 48 hours, try requesting it again.
