Managing Twitter accounts means having reliable backup and migration strategies. Whether you're moving to a new system, sharing accounts with team members, or simply creating backups, BotWitter's export feature gives you complete control.
This guide covers everything from exporting accounts in multiple formats to selecting specific fields and creating automated backup routines.
Export Formats
BotWitter supports three export formats, each suited for different use cases:
JSON
Structured data format. Best for re-importing into BotWitter or programmatic access.

Text
Plain text with custom separator. Great for simple lists and legacy systems.
Export Sources
Choose which accounts to include in your export:

Status Filter
Additionally, you can filter by account status:
Field Selection
Choose exactly which data to include in your export. Fields are organized into two categories:
Basic Information
- Username - Twitter handle
- Password - Account password
- Email - Associated email

Custom TXT Separator
When exporting to TXT format, you can define a custom separator between fields:
# Default separator (:)
username:password:email:proxy
# Pipe separator (|)
username|password|email|proxy

username password email proxy
Common separators include : (colon), | (pipe), ; (semicolon), and \t (tab).
