Does anyone know a tool to download all tweets from an account in JSON format? No need to include likes or RTs. In fct, better if I can avoid those.

If it's your own account the API will let you fetch everything.

If it's someone else's account the API limits you to around 3,200 tweets.

I built https://github.com/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite tool for archiving my own tweets. I've used it to pull tweets from other interesting accounts too.

You could make a tool pretty easily using Twitter's api:

Unfortunately, Twitter limits the number of historical tweets they allow access to from their API (3200 iirc). You have to pay for a partner account in order to have full API access.
