Of course, there are a few limitations.

You can't use this for search. You need to know in advance which Tweet you want data for.

It doesn't get all replies or reposts of a Tweet. So is a bit limited for academic analysis.

Obviously, no deleted Tweets.

You need to add your own styling etc if you want to display it on a website.

The API is occasionally inconsistent. Running it twice in a row can produce subtly different results.

But, other than that, it is perfect for extracting content.

If you just want an *image* of a Tweet, you can use this URl:

platform.twitter.com/embed/Twe

Replace the ID at the end with the one you want, and use a screenshot tool to grab the post.

Again, no API key needed. Just raw access to Tweets and their contents.

Anyway. Use this knowledge to remove all the Twitter embeds on your site and replace them with static content.

I've written some helper scripts in Python at github.com/edent/Tweet2Embed
