opengraph VS TWINT

og:*: specified by the Open Graph Protocol for social media links rendering that determine their title, description, and images when you share them on social media or chat software such as Twitter(X), Discord, etc.

OpenGraph probably.

Since Netlify introduced Edge Functions we've had an ideal way to add a tiny bit of logic into our link shortener which will return a page template of our own to anything looking to unfurl the URL to display its opengraph image.

Recoil Gunworks doesn't have an Open Graph image tag defined in their product pages, so Reddit chooses something at random to use for a preview thumbnail. Neither OP nor the mods can do anything about it.

The idea behind the Semantic Web is, if anything, the exact opposite. Yes, it's still about meaning, in the end. But in this case, it's about the authors of content (mostly webpage developers) intentionally making their content more machine-discoverable, providing links and markup and metadata that computers can read without having to do finicky and error-prone extraction. Most major sites use some features of this! As an example, if you paste this page's URL into Discord, you'll get a fancy popup box with a little snippet of the text and maybe an icon, and this is through a Facebook-developed Semantic Web extension called OpenGraph.

twint is a project that can scrape twitter data via the webpages rather than the twitter API, which means that it can get more than the last 3200 tweets of an account. Unfortunately it seems that the repo was archived and is no longer in development, so I'm not sure if it even still works. It's also a bit heavy on dependencies and is written in Python, neither of which make it easier to install and use.

The tool doesn't work anymore since Twitter changed its APIs, but a good example is twint. Most people in OSINT are not highly technical and don't know their way around a CLI. On the other hand, a CLI tool is one of the quickest, lowest (dev) cost ways to release a tool to the public, and many developers who build tools for the OSINT community do so for free (open source).

You can try twint which is extensive and should be able to do that. Another is via this twitter downloader but might require multiple runs depending on what you want to archive.

They do have examples that don't specify a username such as number 3 on this page or this one on the main page: "twint -g="48.880048,2.385939,1km" -o file.csv --csv - Scrape Tweets from a radius of 1km around a place in Paris and export them to a csv file."

This will motivate researchers to web scrape to circumvent these restrictions. Twint can scrape tweets and it supports proxies. It can also be multi threaded. A huge hassle and it's prone to breaking when the site changes.
