the repo you linked isn't a bot or scraping tool, it's like the entire site and infrastructure. do you really want to set up heroku and elasticsearch for this presumably personal army target?

It isn't a bot, I though it was? Can't read JavaScript. I think I will have to write a python or c++ bot to archive someone tweet.

Nobody on the planet has ever said this and have it be true. If you can code with C++ (:optimistic: ) then you can pick up JavaScript with no trouble at all.

Good luck buddy. Assuming that you want to archive on one of the archive.today sites, I doubt you'll be able to get anywhere with a headless browser (I'm pretty sure the jackass that runs the archive sites has rigged them with captchas and other bot-traps). So you'll probably want to check out Selenium or something to automate a graphical browser that you control using code:

They've got some Python demos on the website to help get you set up with everything and there's tutorials everywhere for this shit. It'll be a decent amount of work, fair warning. And past a certain point, just manually archiving this guy's Twitter yourself by passing in the tweets one-by-one is quicker and less autistic.

I wondering if you guys know which line of code I need to edit to set up a server and a twitter account I am interested in archiving. This source code is the same source code used to archive Trump tweet. Here is the link:

If you’re just trying to archive one twitter account there’s a few other ways to do this.

You can easily use a discord bot IFTTT. Having ElasticSearch is more applicable for watching multiple accounts and trends.

Telegram has FeedReaderBot which is like $6 a year and it will fetch a twitter feed and send to you in telegram.

Okay, I just suck at coding.

You can use the Webrecorder extension, maybe it will help you archive the twitter page. All you have to do is scroll, and the extension will archive as you do so.
