Archiving Twitter to Blog Post
Step 1: Install t (Ruby Twitter command line client). Run the following (substitute your own Twitter ID):
t timeline @tomosaigon --csv --number 3000 > tweets.csv
Step 2: Convert CSV to JSON using http://www.cparker15.com/wp-content/uploads/csv-to-json/csv-to-json.html
Step pre-3:
cached=$(/usr/bin/grep $1 $CACHE) if [[ $cached != "" ]]; then echo $cached|/usr/bin/cut -d' ' -f2 ; exit fi url=$(/usr/local/bin/curl -v $1 2>&1|/usr/bin/grep '^< Location: '|/usr/bin/sed -e 's/< Location: //') echo $1 $url >> $CACHE echo $url
Step 3: Open Chrome Developer Tools and in the command line type "var a = " then paste the copied JSON. Hit enter.
var out = ''; for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) { var t = a[i]; var d = new Date(t['Posted at']); if (d >= new Date('2012-09-01 00:00') && d <= new Date('2012-10-01 00:00')) { var tweet = t['Text']; var tcos = tweet.match(/http:\/\/t.co\/\w+/g); if (tcos) { for (var m = 0; m < tcos.length; m++) { tco = tcos[m].replace(/\//g, '%252F'); $.ajax({url:'http://www.saigonist.com/saigonist/untco/' + tco, async:false, success:function(data){ tweet = tweet.replace(tcos[m], data.trim()); }}); } } tweet = tweet.replace(/("")/g, '"').replace(/(^|\s)@(\w+)/g, '\$1<a href="https://twitter.com/\$2" rel="nofollow">@\$2</a>').replace(/(^|\s)#(\w+)/g, '\$1<a href="https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23\$2" rel="nofollow">\$2</a>') out += ((d.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + d.getDate() + ' ' + d.getHours() + ':' + d.getMinutes() + ' ' + tweet + ' ' + '<a href="http://twitter.com/' + t['Screen name'] + '/statuses/' + t['ID'] + '" rel="nofollow">#</a>'); out += '\n'; } }
