Hey,

for the last few hours I've been trying to archive someone's twitter feed. I just need the text, I can live without the images. This has been been brought up on this subreddit a bunch of times and I tried everything suggested here and more. I'm at my wits' end. So, did anyone actually successfully do this in the last few months? Is it even possible without using the official Twitter API?

Through this evening I installed and used all kinds of browser add-ons, Python, twint, git, visual c++ build tools, docker, snscrape, an older version of Python, ntscraper, Nitter...

One of the add-ons managed 100 tweets (before asking for money) and Nitter got me ~~18~~ 56. Delays and retries just produced the same 18 tweets over and over again. Everything else failed completely.

So, again, is there anybody here who has accomplished this feat in 2024?

Thank you!

Edit: Managed to get from 18 to 56 with Nitter today by changing the code a bit.
