API timeline - one entire week - api

Question

I'm new to API and Twitter
I managed to retrieve the 'normal' 20 Tweets (Status)
Is there a way to retrieve a whole week at once?
Or do I have to write a code that permanently calls 20 Tweets and append each after the other?

Answer 1

You can get whole week of tweet by Get User's lookup Tweet V2 API
OR
Get timeline for user by V1.1 API
Tweet User's lookup V2
GET /2/users/{user id}/tweets
get tweet time line by V1.1 API
GET statuses/user_timeline
I will demo both with Mr. Tweet by Postman.
#1 Get access token in here
This token support both V2 and V1.1 API call.
#2 Get Tweets one week by v2
https://api.twitter.com/2/users/44196397/tweets?max_results=20&start_time=2023-01-18T00:00:01Z&end_time=2023-01-25T00:00:01Z
If you want to more detail information for each tweet.
Add attribute option in here by Adding query parameters(like a like count, create at and so on)
#3 Get timeline, 20 Tweets by v1.1
Timeline API Two methods in here
https://api.twitter.com/2/users/:id/timelines/reverse_chronological
OR
https://api.twitter.com/2/users/:id/tweets
Demo for get tweet with 2nd methods
https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=elonmusk&count=20
Both API needs access token assignment
Both API can be programming by node.js or Python languages.
const axios = require('axios')
const API_KEY = '<your API Key>'
const API_KEY_SECRET = '<your API Secret>'
const getToken = async () => {
try {
const resp = await axios.post(
url = 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token',
data = '',
config = {
params: {
'grant_type': 'client_credentials'
},

return Promise.resolve(resp.data.access_token);

console.error(err)

// { data: { id: '44196397', name: 'Elon Musk', username: 'elonmusk' } }
return Promise.resolve(resp.data.data.id)

const getTweetTimeline = async (user_id, start_date, end_date, token) => {

while (next_token != null) {

for(const item of resp.data.data) {
tweets.push({

})
index = index + 1
}
next_token = resp.data.meta.next_token
}
return Promise.resolve(tweets)
} catch (err) {
console.error(err)
return Promise.reject(err)
}
}
getToken()
.then(token => {
console.log(token);
getUserId('elonmusk', token)
.then(user_id => {
getTweetTimeline(user_id,'2023-02-05T00:00:00Z','2023-02-11T23:59:59Z', token)
.then(tweets => {
for(const tweet of tweets) {
console.log(tweet)
}
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error.message);
});
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error.message);
});
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error.message);
});
Result
node get-tweet.js > result.json
