[Twitter] Expand conversations/threads in timeline and few improvements #2665
Comments
If there will be a reliable method to stop downloading older content, then there is no need in implicitly changing endpoints (which is bad, when the user knows better what he wants) in trying to guess "which is better". One such method I explained in the bottom of #2624 (comment) |

- use '/with_replies' when appropriate - consider 'text-tweets' - build search query as necessary

If a username is given in the input URL, only download from replies by that user.

Hello.
Twitter truncates long conversations in users timelines (by long I mean longer than 3 tweets), which causes missed tweets from
/with_replies
timeline and even in threads from normal timeline. In other words if a long thread/conversation appears on timeline, only first one and last two tweets from it would be downloaded. So these conversations should be expanded. For example, when there's a tweet which is a reply you open it directly and then download rest of the thread. Maybe there's another way to do it with twitter's web API.Secondly, I asked you to improve the replies setting and add option to grab tweets where user id matches the id of target (from URL) user id. Currently, if you set it to
self
it doesn't download target's tweet where he replies to other user, and if you set it totrue
than it downloads tweets from non-target users which are probably unneeded in most cases. Actually, I think you can just makeself
to behave like this instead of doing 4rd option.It would be nice if target's user id or better all their metadata will be always accessible in keyword dictionary for some filtering purposes.
After that you can improve the default algorithm
self
/with_replies
timeline for regular user links (twitter.com/user) instead of/tweets
whenretweets=true
text-tweets=true
should also switch the timeline to/with_replies
instead ofmedia
likeretweets
. This also needs to remove media filter from search.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
