Nearly four years ago I decided to start collecting tweets to Donald Trump out of morbid curiosity. If I was a real archivist, I would have planned this out a little bit better, and started collecting on election night in 2016, or inaguration day 2017. I didn’t. Using twarc, I started collecting with the Filter (Streaming) API on May 7, 2017. That process failed, and I pivoted to using the Search API.
