How to download from my Twitter notifications timeline within a specific time range

[MarqFJA87]

Is there a way to use gallery-dl to download image tweets from my notifications timeline (i.e. https://x.com/i/timeline) up to a chosen date/time? It would help speed up burning through long backlogs.

from my notifications timeline (i.e. https://x.com/i/timeline)

So from https://x.com/home ? Since that's the page I get redirected to when visiting https://x.com/i/timeline.

To answer your original question: This timeline is not supported yet.
To stop by date: --filter "date > datetime(2024, 6, 30) or abort()"

You can't reach the notifications timeline through the URL; I only provided it so that you can know that you're on the right page by checking the address bar, since you're unfamiliar with it. You reach it through clicking on "Notifications", then on the "New post notifications" alert; you'll have to have at least one followed account with the "Notify for all tweets" setting turned on for that to work.

Good news. I've finally managed to find the https://x.com/i/timeline notification timeline you've been describing. Turns out I have to disable uBlock Origin on Twitter to be able to see it...

Currently working on an extractor for it.

Huh. I have uBlock Origin too, and it doesn't prevent me from seeing it. I wonder what the difference is between our respective filters for that to happen to you.

[mikf]

Maybe this is caused by some of the extra filters I have enabled, like the "Annoyances" ones?

Anyway, here you go: daf6cc2

It works with
https://x.com/notifications or
https://x.com/i/timeline
as input URL.

It's working perfectly. Thank you very much!

So, uh, update on this: It seems there's a hard limit of 19 days on how far you can go before you cannot fetch new tweets anymore. I even checked to see how far I can scroll down my notifications timeline, and indeed it can't go any further than ~19 days before the immediate moment you opened the timeline.

Lesson learned: Don't procrastinate, people.
