Twitter offers a way to archive your own account, so look into how the data is saved for that and figure out if we can parse it to be compatible with this project.

BREAKING ISSUE:

Self-archive data does not include data on any users other than the main user.

Options:

  1. Write a scraper to only scraper users based on a list compiled from the archive data
  2. Still require original scraper and only use the archive data for supplementation
  3. Adjust code to allow for "anonymous" tweets if only archive data is provided.
  4. Only support original scraper and ignore the archive data.

Note:
All media is archived with a filename format we can reconstruct, [tweet_id]-[media_id].[filetype_extension], so we could at least use that for a confirmed full media backup of an account.
