Mastodon Archive

This tool allows you to make an archive of your statuses, your favourites, bookmarks and the media in both your statuses, your favourites and your bookmarks. From this archive, you can generate a simple text file, or a HTML file with or without media. Take a look at an example if you're curious.

Note that Mastodon v2.3.0 added an account archive download feature: "Every 7 days you are able to request a full archive of your toots. The toots are exported in ActivityPub JSON format alongside the media files attached to them, your avatar and header images as well as the private key of your account used for signing content." If all you want to do is have a backup of your data, perhaps that is enough and you don't need this tool. Use something like mastodon-data-viewer.py to browse the archive.

Please report issues on the Software Wiki. You can get the latest sources from the author’s site.

Installation

The following command will install mastodon-archive and all its dependencies:

# Python 3
pip3 install mastodon-archive

If this is the first tool you installed using pip then perhaps it installed mastodon-archive in a directory that's not on your PATH. I had to add the following to my ~/.bashrc file:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
