Python code from @baekdal (find tweets you retweeted by someone else)
Posted by jpluimers on 2023/10/26
Need to try this out: [Wayback/Archive] Code from https://twitter.com/baekdal/status/1279123542144094208 and https://twitter.com/baekdal/status/1279123544052563968 (find tweets you retweeted by someone else)
Related tweets:
- [Wayback/Archive] Thomas Baekdal on Twitter: “But, wait, you say, can’t I just do that with Twitter search? Nope… because I couldn’t remember who tweeted it, only that I had retweeted it, and so if I do the search on Twitter, I get this: Twitter search doesn’t include pure retweets when searching ‘from me’.”
- [Wayback/Archive] Thomas Baekdal on Twitter: “For instance, I needed to find a tweet of CNN control operations team working from home, so now I just use my tool to search for ‘CNN’ and there it is.”

Another piece of code he wrote (found via [Wayback/Archive] @baekdal twitter api – Twitter Search / Twitter) was to get a Twitter circle: [Wayback/Archive] Thomas Baekdal on Twitter: “BTW: The code for extracting this data is really simple (using Python). Just import the Twitter API, and run thought the posts, putting each one into their own lists.”:
Via: [Wayback/Archive] Marius Popescu on Twitter: “@UScLE There is this solution using from:me but it doesn’t search your retweets, people use API scripts for that”
