* Authentication free, using <http://dev.twitter.com/doc/get/statuses/user_timeline>
|
|
* Aim to [suck less](http://suckless.org) by keeping lines of code low
|
|
* Encourage folks to use `fetch-tweets.sh` themselves and get into shell ;)
|
|
* Dependencies: curl, libhtml-parser-perl (to decode HTML entities), xmlstarlet, coreutils, PHP
|
|
* Look and feel mostly by <http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap>

# Known limitations
|
|
|
|
* API only allows 3200 tweets to be downloaded this way :((
|
|
* 150 API limit on the server ... (so clone it and use it yourself!)
|
|
* Won't work on protected accounts (duh!)
|
|
* No @mentions or DMs from other accounts
|
|
|
|
## Fetching already!
|
|
|
|
Closing a window whilst creating an account,
|
|
<http://greptweet/create.cgi?id=example>, can cause issues. Need to study
|
|
<http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ProcessManagement>.

## @twitterapi is super flaky
|
|
|
|
Twitter does not allow the possibility of retrieving more than 3200 tweets. :(
|
|
However twitter generally stalls before coming close to this limit. Please
|
|
consider complaining to Twitter about this issue.
|
|
|
|
Type your name again up in the box above to update and append any new tweets
|
|
to any already existing tweets.

I did file <https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/3414>, which later seemed to be fixed.

Make sure your httpd does utf8 all the time:
|
|
|
|
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
