I'm looking for a way to download videos from twitter. I'd prefer if it is lightweight, perhaps using terminal.

youtube-dl claims to : https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html

youtube-dl is a command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and a few more sites. ;)

Not only Twitter and YouTube! Pretty much, if a video on a website lacks a download button, try youtube-dl. 99% of the time, it will work great.

yeah, by "few other sites" they mean any platform capable of hosting videos, as long as it doesn't have a DRM and isn't pirated content xD

Not just it claims to, it actually does. I used it several times for downloading from Twitter, worked well.
