[twitter-dev] Twitter followers in excel

2011-03-25 Thread shaily
Hi Tweeples,

Can you please help me how to download the details of my followers,
their details, picture into excel! Can I connect excel directly to
twitter? Is their an easy way?

Please advise.
Shaily

Hello there,

There is no method to do this straight from the API.

What 'details' of each follower are you interested in having?

Can you elaborate on why you're interested in having an export to excel if 
possible too.

Scott.

There's a service called Export.ly that will do this for you. I don't 
remember how many of the fields it exports, though.


This is an easy coding task in any of the scripting languages with 
Twitter API libraries - I do it in Perl but I'm sure it can be done in 
Python, Ruby or PHP as well with just a few lines of code.


Finally, there are some ways in Excel to import XML data - anything you 
can export from Twitter via Atom / RSS feeds in XML can be imported into 
Excel that way.

I've seen someone do it with VB scripting. Ask him, you can find him as 
Randomness on this list and on Twitter as @nl_twop_1000
