Twitter, not all original tweets (non retweets) are downloaded. #186
Comments
Use https://twitter.com/tanosiie/media as URL. There is a difference between the regular timeline, which includes normal tweets and retweets, and the media timeline, which only has tweets with images/videos. Additionally there is the problem that Twitter only allows you to get the last 2000(?) tweets or so. There is really no good way to get a list of older tweets. |
Wild opinion: tweets pagination. |
That's what's already happening, but the pagination results stop after a certain point, even if there are technically more tweets available. Even the official API has such a limitation: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/timelines/api-reference/get-statuses-user_timeline.html
It might be possible to use advanced search and specify a time interval to get older tweets like that, but I don't know how doable this would be. |
This kind of function is basically what we wanted for years. I'm expecting more on this. 🙇 |
I tried. It downloaded up to 1000 images. |
This is fixed with 3346f58 and all the changes/improvements following that. |
