Timeline Likes Issue

[kevshTO]

Log ID: 2733

Setting up a Like Action using Custom Search (Timeline) with Search Term set to "https://twitter.com". Filters set: Max Hours Since Tweet = 4, # Likes Min = 2.

When running I'm seeing lots of tweets rejected showing zero (I cancelled the action after a few dozen filtered out, but none liked):
Checking Filter: #likes
Value: 0 is <2 or > 0
* IGNORE: num of likes

Checking some of these and many have a lot more than 2. Any idea what's going on?

Thanks.

working fine here.

Please tell me which exact tweet your saw ignored, that are you sure had likes, but was reported as 0

[martin@rootjazz]

not all of them failed, although most did which is a bit strange. 1/65 had a favourite count.


Can you add a tweet URL you know has likes to a file.
then on the LIKE tab
in search dropdown, select FROM FILE
set your filter: minlikes:2
run the action.

Does the tweet get ignored?

if submit logs
HELP > LOGS > SUBMIT

then send your logs ID - the first 4 numbers is sufficient (displayed after successful uploading of logs)

When I run it with the URL of a specific tweet with a Min # of Likes, seems to work fine.

But setting it up as a Custom Search using the Timeline option, it's still skipping them all (showing zero likes for most, if not all of them). Here are a few tweets it skipped this morning (adult content warning):

The logs I submitted earlier should show the same thing, that the tweets being scraped are mostly showing zero likes?

Also, I tried a few different versions of Likes using Custom and Multi-Search and had mixed results (using different options like TweetsLikedByUser, etc.) so not sure if it's specific to Timeline tweets, if that helps or not.

Just wanted to add, can you give an example for how to set up some custom searches?

I've tried using Mentions (using an acct name in the search field) and List Members (using the URL of an acct list) and both are failing with errors like "FAILED GET: (252995) 404".

Most searches seem more straightforward but in some cases it's not exactly obvious what precisely to use in the search field, so when the action fails I'm not sure if I'm using the wrong search term syntax or something else.

(Edit: This may be more suitable as a new topic, if you wish to move it to one)

Thanks
