On the right hand side of someones profile bellow the Following block it says "RSS feed of abraham's updates". For example on http://twitter.com/abraham it links to http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/9436992.rss Abraham On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 08:26, Richie wrote: > > How does one access a profile's RSS feed? > > > On Jun 30, 6:16 pm, Abraham Williams <4bra...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Every profile has an RSS feed.

Maybe I am looking at the wrong thing but I don't find anything in the API for retrieving someone's updates.

[twitter-dev] Re: Subscribe to user and download tweets?
Tweetake.com will back up your own tweets, followers, etc but only the last 1000, that is in Twitters API rules.

Every profile has an RSS feed. There are many applications that will download RSS feeds. Abraham On Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 15:52, DWRoelands wrote: > > Ah, I see. > > This is certainly doable.

[twitter-dev] Re: Subscribe to user and download tweets?
Ah, I see. This is certainly doable. Your application would need to sign into your account (Basic Auth is probably fine if it's just for your own use), and retrieve your friends' updates. This is already in the API. What the API doesn't have is any "Save" functionality, so you would need to write your own code that goes through the list of updates and saves them to disk. It would not be hard to code at all. The more I think about this, the more I think I might add this feature to the Twitter client I'm writing. :) --Duane On Jun 30, 4:24 pm, Richie wrote: > I want to download their tweets - as I said.

I want to download their tweets - as I said. I don't want to just see them in my list on Twitter. I want to download their tweets and store them in an archive on my local machine.

[twitter-dev] Re: Subscribe to user and download tweets?
Could you be a little more specific? If you follow another user, their tweets will show up in your list of friends' updates. Does that not do what you need it to do?
