How to Browse and Search your Liked Tweets
Have you ever tried to find a tweet you liked some time ago? Me too, and it’s almost impossible. Scrolling down in the ‘Likes’ tab of my profile while doing CMD-F is a pain and it doesn’t even work sometimes.
I came up with a way of saving all my past and future Twitter likes. It lets me browse, filter them, and search for tweets by text or user. And it’s free.
I thought it could be helpful for others, so here it goes
Before you start
We’ll to use Tinybird to store and query the tweets. It lets you ingest CSVs of up to billions of rows and create dynamic API endpoints on your data very easily.
Sign up here and email the team so that they activate your account (it’s deactivated by default)
Last, go here to request your full Twitter data. It will take 24h but this will ensure that you’re downloading all your tweets. Read more about this in the last section of the post
Ah, and install pipenv
to run the necessary code we’ll use.
