How can I save a whole webpage of a twitter thread and its replies? My attempts at saves are mostly getting blank pages.

  • archivist

    Webpage archiver that focuses on content rather than the actual pages (by archivist-rs)

  • This doesn't provide any mechanism to read the data back, but https://gist.github.com/TheTechRobo/268cdfb44182c9af08ed11e820cdcc5a (skip to "The Thorough Way") allows you to fetch a tweet recursively - i.e. it fetches the tweet, its parent tweet, its replies, its parent tweet's replies, etc. It's really slow, and it only gets the raw tweet data, but you can mock something up that reads it like I started doing with https://github.com/archivist-rs/archivist (but never finished).
