I wrote a script that gets you part way: https://github.com/casmlab/user-timeline-tools If you setup and run getUserTimeline.py, you'll have all the data you want, just not in the format you want. If you keep going and run parseUserTimeline.py, you'll end up with a MySQL table that has the info you listed, but you'll also have a bunch of stuff you don't need. Though, looking back at your list, I guess this doesn't get/save retweets, but you could probably mod it to do so. It worked 3 months ago. Issues and bug fixes welcome!

There are two basic ways to do this. You can use a programming module like Twarc (https://github.com/edsu/twarc) or Twitter for Python ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twitter) to pull the data yourself, which is free but takes some time to learn how to do. The other option is to use an analytics platform like Discovertext or Crimson Hexagon, which is more user-friendly but more expensive.

Hello list members:
I am looking for tools which can help extract all possible Twitter statistics (such as, number of tweets, followers, followings, mentions, re-tweets, favorites) for a list of Twitter handlers (around 120 accounts). *In particular, I look for a tool that can take the IDs as a single file and provide the desired statistics for each ID. *
The Webometrics Analyst has this functionality, but unfortunately it only provides followers and followings data. I am also familiar with the several other tools including the ones mentioned in the Dean Freelon's curated list < https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UaERzROI986HqcwrBDLaqGG8X_lYwctj6ek6ryqD...
, but non of these can extract all the information I need. Some tools provide more statistics, but they work with one ID at time.
I will greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you,
