What Hacker News says
2 sourcesYeah, it hasn't been updated since 2017. But the user lookup (which includes fetching your or any users' list of followers/followings/mutuals) seems to work as well as ever, likely because the pertinent API endpoints haven't changed much. I still sometimes use `t` to do a quick fetch of the last 3,200 tweets of any user in CSV format. Though I now prefer using the `twarc` Python library, which is still being actively updated and gives the ability to preserve the data in its original JSON: https://github.com/DocNow/twarc
