"With replies" option is not working

[ozac]

Hi,

Choosing the "with replies" option on the website - returns zero results. It doesn't return the tweets of the user, nor the replies.

The feature stopped working yesterday.

Thanks

Thanks for reporting that ozac.

As it turns out Twitter have changed their site such that it requires you to log in to access the with_replies listing. TwitRSS.me has always been a non-API tool that scrapes publically available data, so I'm afriad that means this feature will no longer work.

I shall remove the option from the website, which may take a few hours to update.

I think you might be able to use a search url instead as a workaround, like this: https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=from%3Aelonmusk

@maturz Seems like that works, any chance on getting this implemented?

One of the side effects is that anyone that is already using &replies=on are now getting a feed with zero items. Would be good to remove L41 so people's existing bookmarks aren't broken.

@ciderpunx disabling the parameter seems like a simple solution, could that be implemented and then if you have the time using the search url could be looked into?

@cookieguru I confirm that: &replies=on returns a feed of 0 elements. This should be fixed in the script, so that a twitrss user does not notice this.

So I use that with twitrss.me by adding "from:twitterusername" as a search term?

Maybe this could be a workaround for re-adding the "with replies" or all tweets option.

@ciderpunx Maybe if you don't have time to rewrite the script to use the search url in the meantime you could just change the line

https://github.com/ciderpunx/twitrssme/blob/master/fcgi/twitter_user_to_rss.pl#L53 my $replies = $q->param('replies') || 0;

to

my $replies = 0;

Or even better, just redirect urls with the parameter to the search script instead with the from: pefix.
