X, formerly known as Twitter, is one of the world's largest social media platforms and one of the most popular sites where artists post their work.
Uploading
To upload from Twitter, paste a link to the tweet on the upload page, like this:
- https://danbooru.donmai.us/uploads/new?url=https://x.com/weirdlilguys/status/1755223245614150080
Don't paste a direct link to the image, like this:
- https://danbooru.donmai.us/uploads/new?url=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GFvOPQpW0AAR0A4.jpg
If you paste a direct link to the image, then Danbooru won't be able to find which tweet it belongs to, and won't be able to pull the artist, tags, and commentary.
Image quality
Since December 11th, 2019, Twitter uploads usually have the same quality as Pixiv uploads. Images posted before December 11th, 2019 were always compressed or downscaled (except for PNG with alpha channel), so Twitter images from this time period were generally lower quality than Pixiv images.
Artists
When making an artist entry, add both the username and user ID profile URLs, like this:
- http://x.com/GK0322
- http://x.com/intent/user?user_id=12345678
Danbooru will usually fill in both URLs automatically when making a new artist entry. If it doesn't, then you can use https://tweeterid.com to determine a user's Twitter ID, or use the following bookmarklet:
[code]
javascript:(() => {prompt('Twitter ID', `https://twitter.com/intent/user?user_id=${JSON.parse(document.querySelector(%27script[data-testid=%22UserProfileSchema-test%22]%27)?.textContent)?.author?.identifier}`)})()
[/code]
See Help:Artists for more information about artist entries.
