twint -u username return small number of tweets
[QUESTION] how to get all tweets

Make sure you've checked the following:

• [] Python version is 3.6;
• [] Updated Twint with pip3 install --user --upgrade -e git+https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git@origin/master#egg=twint;
• [] I have searched the issues and there are no duplicates of this issue/question/request.

Command Ran

twint -u username

Environment Details

Using mac terminal

[Qriist]

try the --profile-full option

or try formatting a manual search: -s "from:username"

see what you get

I also suggest you to do your search via browser and see how far back it goes

[Arwa200]

--profile-full option: it's gather approximately 3000 tweets
the user had 52 K of tweets
I'm trying now with -s

[Arwa200]

-s return same small number..
also tried with dates but its not working, still give me newest tweets furthermore its small number

[pielco11]

What do you see if you scroll manually with your browser?

[Arwa200]

sorry, lost the track.. why do i have to scroll the browser?

[pielco11]

So that we know if it's Twitter is acting in a strange way, or just because "that's it" the situation

[pielco11]

Scrolling down with the browser is the same thing as running Twint until it stops by itself, we'd be cool to know if the results are the same

[Arwa200]

just want to update you about an automatic scrolling for both tweets and likes from twitter.com and mobile.twitter.com and goth the following:
- tweets:
result in terminal: it returns until 16/07/2017
twitter.com result from auto scrolling: returns until 26/10/2017
mobile.twitter.com: returns until 26/10/2017

likes:
result in terminal: it returns until 29/04/2013
twitter.com result from auto scrolling: returns until Mar 2012
mobile.twitter.com: returns until November 2012
and both mobile and normal web are crashed while it is not while running auto scrolling in tweets

[pielco11]

tweets

So you got more results than via browser, awesome

likes

you should consider that scraping followers/following/favorites is a bit more limited than just searching for tweets. Those are not intended to get all the awaited results

[Arwa200]

yes, I got the idea..
Do you think would be possible to get get all the awaited results somehow I mean by scraping not "Paid API"?
or is even Paid API provide this feature or its limited?

[pielco11]

I don't know, there limits with every tool (more or less)

Thank you
