It seems tweet scraping is limited to a month back from the specified date, even when using the following commands:
python twint.py -u BBC --since 2006-03-21 -o BBC.csv --csv
python twint.py -u BBC --since 2006-03-21 --until 2017-06-01 -o BBC.csv --csv
This might be an issue, or am I overlooking an option?
I am running Twint on Windows 10, with Python 3.6.4 (Anaconda 64 bit).
I have the same problem with Twint while the previous Tweep release seems to work with older posts
Hi all and thanks for reporting,
in the while _since < _until loop, after else remove break . This should fix the problem.
I firstly added the feature as this, but maybe this breaks the code somehow with the newest features (since a break was added). I'm going to fix this.
I have a quick fix, will update in a few mins
Fixed in this commit
Opted for a seperate loop
Thanks for the fix! This is a nifty piece of software
