How to get all retweets from a twitter user

Open afterdelight opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

using https://twitter.com/user only got the recent retweets from few pages behind and https://twitter.com/search?q=from:user+include:nativeretweets+filter:nativeretweets&f=live results in even less retweets

can anyone help?

There should be either include:nativeretweets or filter:nativeretweets, not both.

results in even less retweets

That's how twitter's search works. There's no solution other than using paid API.

both works. if you didnt include it. it wont download the retweets from twitter search command. what paid api?

filter:nativeretweets already includes retweets, so doing both is nonsensical.

what paid api?

Twitter's official API for developers.

filter:nativeretweets only download retweets i want to download both normal tweets and retweets.

how much does the api cost?

both normal tweets and retweets

Then use include:nativeretweets alone. Using both include:nativeretweets and filter:nativeretweets is the same as using just filter:nativeretweets, i.e. retweets only.

how much does the api cost?

I don't know. They are implementing some big changes now and docs don't work properly, since I looked up last time. As far as I know it is in form of subscription. You don't need it anyway, I suppose you're not a programmer.

ah yes, i miscofused that. yeah im not a programmer. but i want to download all retweets tho.
