2023/09/16 Plugin has been taken down
2023/08/27 The old version API seems to be completely invalidated and will not return any content
On July 9, 2023, the daily limit was lifted and the old version API was restored, but I don't know how long it will last
Due to Twitter's update on restrictions, the API in the plugin has become invalid and the plugin cannot be used anymore
I don't know when Twitter stopped using the free API. Previously, it was possible to apply for it to crawl content. There are many open-source crawlers on GitHub, but they all require an API key. However, the new version API is expensive. Here is a browser crawler plugin that I have been using.
Disclaimer#
The content of this article is time-sensitive and there is no guarantee that this tutorial will still be available in the future.
This article only provides links to crawler plugins found online and their usage methods. It is strongly discouraged to use them for excessive crawling that consumes server resources.
Using crawlers without the official API violates Twitter's terms of use. We are not responsible for any consequences resulting from the use of crawlers, such as account suspension or restrictions.
They really do suspend accounts, and they won't unban them even if you appeal.

The default interface looks like this.
Selecting "no media" downloads only the text content, and the content in parentheses below is for downloading retweeted content.
