Can you use the search tweets API to search your own protected tweets? This does not seem possible as I am not getting results returned when searching “from:myprivateaccount” as a search parameter. Can’t seem to find any documentation and I need to identify the tweetids/tweets of messages before the 3200 allowed on my protected account.
I am all authenticated into my protected twitter account (DEV) using search-tweets-python
rule = gen_rule_payload(“from:myprivateacc”, results_per_call=100)
I get no results for any tweets on my protected account, however, am able to retrieve from any public account just fine. Does search not index protected tweets or is there a better way to achieve what I am trying to do?
Thank you all in advance
Search does not index protected accounts. Your best option here would be to request the Twitter Archive for the account you own, and search through the contents of that (there’s no specific API support for this, though, it would be a manual process of grep’ing or searching the contents).
