I currently use tweetdeck to export my twitter lists manually which I then can then use with gallery-dl to archive accounts.  Is there a way to do this without tweetdeck?  

The only way I've found is by requesting data from twitter itself, but the problem is the account names are replaced with a string of numbers at the end (their account id).  You can only get the proper name by manually loading each url and waiting for the redirect.  There must be a better way than these two methods surely?
