More specifically I have:
- A new way to read specific tweet
- A new way to pull a profile if they have been followed before
Still missing:
- A way to convert handles to numeric ID
- An alternative way to pull a user timeline
Re: converting handle
I’m thinking either I could index them as new users get retweeted (from another api call). Overtime it will become somewhat reliable, but not for niche accounts.
Or I can use actual Twitter accounts to crawl those in an async way after a follow
Another way you can really help bird.makeup is finding any open source projects that integrates with any parts of Twitter that still work and send those to me. I’ll reverse engineer them and get new ways to crawl Twitter
@vincent I guess you're aware of it - the RIP nitter issue entry is at 330 comments and counting, it contains a lot of approaches. It also looks at bird.makeup - https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/919
@vincent I've been looking and that's how I found your project, but nothing else that works atm
