twitter.com: Advanced features
Our twitter.com Plugins support some advanced features which will be explained here.
Special URL parameters as abort conditions for profile crawling
- maxitems -> Define how many tweets of a profile should be crawled at most
- max_date -> Only crawl items until end of day before this date
Usage example: If you want to crawl twitter.com/exampleProfile and only want to crawl the first 50 items, add it like this: twitter.com/exampleProfile?maxitems=50
Of course you can include both abort conditions at the same time like this: twitter.com/exampleProfile?max_date=2022-01-15&maxitems=50 This will crawl up to 50 items or tweets until max posted date of 2022-01-14 11:59PM. The abort condition which is reached first will abort the crawl process.
