It supports authenticating and switching between multiple Twitter profiles stored in a local configuration file, allowing commands to be executed under the active account. The tool distinguishes itself through shell-integrated workflows, including tab completion for Zsh and Bash, and Unix-pipe-compatible output formatting that defaults to tab-separated columns for piping into standard utilities like grep and awk. It also provides CSV export via a flag for spreadsheet or database ingestion, and supports parallel API request batching to accelerate bulk operations such as mass unfollowing or deletion. Additional capabilities include real-time tweet streaming through a persistent HTTP connection, deep tweet search with pagination up to 3,200 tweets and client-side regex filtering, and a follow relationship check that exits with a non-zero code if one user does not follow another. The project generates shell-completion scripts and formats output for seamless terminal automation. ## Tags ### Development Tools & Productivity - [Social Media CLI Clients](https://awesome-repositories.com/f/development-tools-productivity/social-media-cli-clients.md) — Runs Twitter operations such as delete, list, set, and stream through a command-line interface.
