Inspired Earth (ID: 0000005583352b8d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/02/2023 What a fantastic tool for scrapping Tweets. Works well. Even has a built in viewer for the results. A fairly significant issue I came across is the CSV seems to be invalid. Doesn’t render correctly in CSV tools (including Apple Numbers, and various CSV viewers I tried).

icon

Zain V (ID: 00000053705d480a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/31/2023 Handy! But twitter doesn't allow you to set 2021-11-31 as a valid date for example. This means that the date selection for all months that don't go to 31 fail. Could you also alter it so specific date ranges can be entered as well (not just months)?

Tomáš Konopásek (ID: 000000b86ba36904) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/02/2023 Very useful! Unfortunately, it does not allow to set a more precise time period. That would be a lifesaver, because if you are looking for some tweets publsihed lets say one year ago, it gets very laggy (seems like X is actually restricting how much tweets you can see) and you are not able to reach the desired tweets. If this function would be added + URL of the tweet / tweet ID, then its 5 stars!

まっちゃん (ID: 0000003837872d92) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/25/2023 Very helpful now that the API is a mess! It might be useful to be able to scrape the URL to a Tweet as well

Kelvin Favarin do Amaral (ID: 00000072058b8d55) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/22/2023 Funciona como anunciado! Uma sugestão, se possivel adicionem uma opção para extrair a lista de seguidores e de quem está seguindo contendo o nome e o @ de cada perfil. Seria interessante para fins de pesquisa.
