Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Twitter backup script
Hi Pascal What I'm doing is requesting 150 per hour. I've 43 pages, so in about a week I'll get my almost full backup. :D (I've wrote a PHP script to do that automatically, of course) Does the Congress Library have an API or some ? 2010/7/18 Pascal Jürgens lists.pascal.juerg...@googlemail.com Tom, at least you know that the library of congress has a backup :) Pascal On Jul 18, 2010, at 7:07 , Tom Roggero wrote: I've tried your script on Mac, it only works for first 3 pages that's weird (i'm running darwin ports for xml functions)...

Thomas, last time I heard from the project, they were busy sorting the technical details out and still not sure who would even get access. It'll probably be open to a selected group of researchers first. Pascal On Jul 18, 2010, at 8:16 PM, Tomas Roggero wrote: Hi Pascal What I'm doing is requesting 150 per hour.
