Twitter Bookmarks Exporter
Export your Twitter (X) bookmarks to CSV, Excel, or JSON in one click. Free, no API key, and no row limit from Lection.
How It Works
The Lection extension asks x.com for your bookmarks the same way the X website does when you open your bookmarks tab, using the session you are already logged in with. It reads page after page until X has nothing more, then turns the posts into one table you can download.
Nothing is sent to Lection servers while the export runs. Your login stays in your browser.
How to Export Twitter Bookmarks
Click Export
Press Export My Bookmarks, wait for the count to stop climbing, then download CSV, Excel, or JSON.
What You Get
One row per post, with these columns. The same file downloads as CSV, Excel, or JSON.
| Column | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Tweet ID | The numeric id of the post. |
| Tweet URL | A link that opens the post on x.com. |
| Author Handle | The @handle of the author, without the @. |
| Author Name | The author display name. |
| Text | The full post text, including long posts. |
| Created At | When the post was published, as an ISO 8601 UTC timestamp. |
| Likes / Retweets / Replies / Quotes | Engagement counts at export time. |
| Views | View count when X reports one (0 otherwise). |
| Media URLs | Photo URLs and the best MP4 video URL, separated by " | ". |
Limits, Honestly
- Lection does not cap rows. X decides how far back its bookmarks list goes, and the export stops where X stops.
- Only your own bookmarks. X keeps bookmarks private, so other accounts cannot be exported.
- Deleted, suspended, and withheld posts come back empty from X and are skipped.
- Bookmark folders are not separated: the export is the full list, as under All Bookmarks.
- Large lists take about a second per hundred posts. If X rate limits the session, wait a few minutes and run it again.
What People Use It For
- Backing up years of saved posts before an account change or a platform shake-up.
- Moving research, threads, and links into Notion, Airtable, Obsidian, or Google Sheets.
- Searching and sorting bookmarks by author, date, or engagement, which the X app does not let you do.
- Pulling the media URLs of saved images and videos into a reading or swipe file.
