Support for Twitter threads #12

Closed JustAnotherArchivist closed 5 years ago

JustAnotherArchivist commented 5 years ago

Twitter threads are a common way to convey more information on Twitter than fits into a single message. snscrape should support scraping these.

This could be either a discovery of the original tweeter's replies to their own initial tweet or a recursive discovery of all replies to a tweet. The latter would of course be much more expensive.

Added in commit 1a07b3b7. This goes back through a thread or conversation since that's way easier to implement than the ideas above.
