Why dont you first capture all pic.twitter.com links from there download video and images
Sounds like you have a good idea. I will appreciate your work if you give it a try.
But I want to mention that Twitter video is not saved as a single link. First, you need to retrieve a m3u8 streaming video list. Then combining the videos of .ts
together gives you a whole Twitter video.
You can use https://github.com/twintproject/twint to get all the pic.twitter links then get https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ from it and save
My testing account was always
realDonaldTrump
and mediascraper.twitter works fine on it. However, for other accounts, for instance,sigrid_ig
, videos are not captured by mediascraper.twitter. The html structure seems to be different between accounts. It needs handling case by case.
