Where possible, I archive tweet data for embedding in posts. Any tweets I have archived this way are also listed here.
I use my twarchive project, which includes both a Python script for downloading and processing tweet data and a Hugo theme for displaying it.
Retrieval date
In each tweet, I record the date I retrieved it from the Twitter API. Click the question mark in the bottom right corner to see it.
Images
Images in the tweets are data: URIs with the full sized image also archived.
Because Chromium browsers do not permit the top level frame to navigate to data: URIs,
clicking on images will create an iframe and display the image in an iframe.
This is a crappy hack, but it does work.
Quote tweets
If a tweet links to another tweet, that is a “quote tweet”. Only a single level of QT is shown, just like on Twitter.
Unsupported
- Thread support could use some improvement. I can make threads like this one, but that version lacks nice pagination and is slow to download.
- My script that grabs tweets uses only the v1.1 API. This means it cannot see everything. The most notable lack is that of polls.
