reminder: Twitter censors their search, and won't let you download the tweets you've liked/saved, or your follower/following lists, in your data export.
I personally won't use sites that decide for me what I'm allowed to read (that they have already permitted to be posted). After a dozen years and tens of thousands of followers on the platform, I deleted my account.
You also can't really use a new account without getting locked out unless you add a phone number, and they have been incapable of keeping user data private or secure so far in the past.
Yes, they just contain numeric userids and tweet ids; not usernames or tweet data. The information is opaque and useless, you can't even construct URLs from them.
like.js contains full tweet text and working URLs. It's true that usernames aren't given. It's not true that Twitter "won't let you" download these lists at all.
