The first time you run `twitter-to-sqlite user-timeline db.db username` we want to fetch as many tweets from that user as possible - probably around 3,200 before the API limitations cut us off. We need to record the maximum ID from those as the `since_id` - which we will see on the very first page we paginate through. That way next time we run the command with `--since` we will only fetch new tweets. But what happens if our initial import is cancelled after only a few tweets? We risk never pulling in the rest of the tweets. Not sure if I need to solve this at all or if I should instead trust users to run the command a second time without `--since` if they think they didn't retrieve anything the first time. I had considered letting `--stop_after=` over-ride `--since` but that doesn't actually make sense - if you send a since_id to the Twitter API you'll never get back more tweets than exist after that ID, so the `--stop_after` would not make a meaningful difference.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",590666760,--since feature can be confused by retweets, https://github.com/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/issues/39#issuecomment-606850008,https://api.github.com/repos/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/issues/39,606850008,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDYwNjg1MDAwOA==,9599,simonw,2020-03-31T20:13:59Z,2020-04-01T00:23:00Z,MEMBER,"Table design for `since_ids` table: type | key | since_id --- | --- | --- 1 | 124324 | 2347239847293 2 | 99ff9cefff5cbfd804f7cd43e2b27ced8addbe8d | 2125947927344 Primary compound key on `(category, key)` `type` is also a foreign key to a `since_id_types` table with `id` and `name` columns (probably created using https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/python-api.html#working-with-lookup-tables )","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",590666760,--since feature can be confused by retweets, https://github.com/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/issues/39#issuecomment-606843224,https://api.github.com/repos/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/issues/39,606843224,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDYwNjg0MzIyNA==,9599,simonw,2020-03-31T19:59:11Z,2020-03-31T20:06:32Z,MEMBER,"Or... have a single `since_ids` table to track since values, and have its primary key be a string that looks something like this: `user:123145` `home:23441` `mentions:23425` `search:99ff9cefff5cbfd804f7cd43e2b27ced8addbe8d` That last example would use the hash generated here: https://github.com/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/blob/810cb2af5a175837204389fd7f4b5721f8b325ab/twitter_to_sqlite/cli.py#L792-L808","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",590666760,--since feature can be confused by retweets, https://github.com/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/issues/39#issuecomment-606844521,https://api.github.com/repos/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/issues/39,606844521,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDYwNjg0NDUyMQ==,9599,simonw,2020-03-31T20:01:39Z,2020-03-31T20:01:39Z,MEMBER,"I think `utils.fetch_timeline()` grows a new argument, `since_key`.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",590666760,--since feature can be confused by retweets, https://github.com/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/issues/39#issuecomment-606824992,https://api.github.com/repos/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite/issues/39,606824992,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDYwNjgyNDk5Mg==,9599,simonw,2020-03-31T19:24:23Z,2020-03-31T19:24:23Z,MEMBER,"The `--since` option is actually used by four commands: * `user-timeline` * `home-timeline` * `mentions-timeline` * `search` All of them use the same `fetch_timeline()` utility function under the hood.
