Twitter retweets cannot be retrieved past ~10 days old
This issue is purely to solicit a possible solution or workaround for retrieving retweets from a specific user account within a given date range. At some point in the past this might have been possible with advanced search queries, but it currently does not work outside a range of 7-10 days from the present.
A viable solution should:
- Return tweets that include or are exclusively retweets (
"rawContent": "RT @...) - Allow for tweets to be returned in a paged format (date range, id range)
- Return only retweets for a specified username/user id
If this is possible through an undocumented API or otherwise requires functionality outside that available from twscrape, a pull request would be appreciated (either here or there). The potential for needing jank here is real though so more likely to make a custom feature of my wrapper script.
