issues: 779088071

I requested a Twitter export yesterday, and unfortunately they seem to have changed it such that twitter-to-sqlite import can't handle it anymore 😢

So far I've ran into two issues. The first was easy to work around, but the second will take more investigation. If I can find the time I'll keep working on it and update this issue accordingly.

The issues (so far):

1. Data seems to have moved to a data/ subdirectory

Running twitter-to-sqlite import on the raw zip file reports a bunch of "not yet implemented" errors, and then exits without actually importing anything:

❯ twitter-to-sqlite import tarchive.db twitter.zip ... data/manifest: not yet implemented data/account-creation-ip: not yet implemented data/account-suspension: not yet implemented ... (dozens of more lines like this, including critical stuff like data/tweets) ...

(tarchive.db now exists, but is empty)

Workaround: unpack the zip file, and run twitter-to-sqlite import tarchive.db path/to/archive/data

That gets further, but:

2. Some schema(s?) have changed

At least, the blocks schema seems different now:

❯ twitter-to-sqlite import tarchive.db archive/data direct-messages-group: not yet implemented branch-links: not yet implemented periscope-expired-broadcasts: not yet implemented direct-messages: not yet implemented mute: not yet implemented Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/jacob/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/jacobian-dogsheep-4AXaN4tu-py3.8/bin/twitter-to-sqlite", line 8, in <module> sys.exit(cli()) File "/Users/jacob/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/jacobian-dogsheep-4AXaN4tu-py3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/click/core.py", line 829, in __call__ return self.main(*args, **kwargs) File "/Users/jacob/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/jacobian-dogsheep-4AXaN4tu-py3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/click/core.py", line 782, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "/Users/jacob/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/jacobian-dogsheep-4AXaN4tu-py3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1259, in invoke return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx)) File "/Users/jacob/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/jacobian-dogsheep-4AXaN4tu-py3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1066, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, **ctx.params) File "/Users/jacob/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/jacobian-dogsheep-4AXaN4tu-py3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/click/core.py", line 610, in invoke return callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/Users/jacob/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/jacobian-dogsheep-4AXaN4tu-py3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/twitter_to_sqlite/cli.py", line 772, in import_ archive.import_from_file(db, filepath.name, open(filepath, "rb").read()) File "/Users/jacob/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/jacobian-dogsheep-4AXaN4tu-py3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/twitter_to_sqlite/archive.py", line 215, in import_from_file to_insert = transformer(data) File "/Users/jacob/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/jacobian-dogsheep-4AXaN4tu-py3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/twitter_to_sqlite/archive.py", line 115, in lists_member return {"lists-member": _list_from_common(data)} File "/Users/jacob/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/jacobian-dogsheep-4AXaN4tu-py3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/twitter_to_sqlite/archive.py", line 200, in _list_from_common for url in block["userListInfo"]["urls"]: KeyError: 'urls'

That's as far as I got before I needed to work on something else. I'll report back if I get further!
