Digging Into Replies

JP de Vooght edited this page May 16, 2020 · 1 revision

The tweets subcommand can attempt to look at replies to a particular tweet. This functionality is not too reliable due to the large amount of tweets handled by the platform. Due to restrictions in the free API, it will not be able to retrieve a whole lot of content for older or high-traffic tweets.

In the example below, I look at a certain tweet by Christopher Allen.

$ nucoll tweets -p 1261454210094313473 ChristopherA

The resulting ChristopherA.dat contains two rows.
