[Twitter] How to bypass twitter limit?

[maxman2103]

I tried to download from a twitter account that has over 7k images but it downloaded around 2k(1932), is there anyway to extend/bypass the limit?

I am using the latest version. I also logged in config so it can download NSFW

this is the account I tried to download form https://twitter.com/kyo_2b/media

Use the main profile URL (https://twitter.com/kyo_2b),
or do a search (https://twitter.com/search?q=from:kyo_2b)

Since version 1.22.0 main profile URLs download from https://twitter.com/kyo_2b/media first and then do search starting from the last tweet in the media timeline.

Thanks it worked, I tried both,

https://twitter.com/search?q=from:kyo_2b
is working well and bypass the download limit. but
https://twitter.com/kyo_2b
did not work same result as using the media url.

did not work same result as using the media url.

That's probably because the search query that gallery-dl builds doesn't work. (https://twitter.com/search?q=from:kyo_2b%20(filter:images%20OR%20filter:native_video%20OR%20card_name:animated_gif)&src=typed_query&f=live) (Though the top tab works).

Refer #2514 (comment), #2514 (comment)

The safest way is to use from: and max_id: only. Also, for the query above filter:links worked.

@nisehime what is max_id ?

[nisehime]

A search parameter to show tweets that were prior the specified tweet id.

does https://twitter.com/search?q=from:%user%+include:nativeretweets&f=live works to grab all retweets

[nisehime]

No, twitter doesn't return many retweets in the search.

[afterdelight]

then how to grab all the retweets of target account?

[nisehime]

There's no way. twitter.com/user returns last retweets. twitter.com/search?q=from:%user%+include:nativeretweets may return some retweets too, but not all of them.

[afterdelight]

maybe using different api end point?
