--exclude-retweets

Is the --exclude-retweets option necessary? I don't think there's a way to include retweets when searching is there?

This is an awesome little script btw! 🍰

Have you found any way to include retweets in the search result?

@singh-95 The search API returns retweets that match a query, but the web accessible search interface does not...at least to my knowledge.

@edsu Thanks for answering.
Yeah, I couldn't find any way to get retweets using search interface either. And sorry for asking another question here but is there a way to resize images from twitter posts if have the image url using url parameters?

Do you have the JSON for the tweet?

[semmet95]

Yes.

This is the link to JSON object that contains tweets on the user timeline.
In case of retweets the image url is stored in the ['retweeted_status'] ['extended_entities'] ['media'] [0] ['media_url'] key.

In case of tweets, the image url is stored in the ['extended_entities'] ['media'] [0] ['media_url_https'] key.
