# Tweet2Embed

Convert a public Tweet into either:

* Image & alt text

* Semantic HTML and CSS

Uses Selenium's Webdriver to launch a Firefox or Chrome instance and takes a screenshot. Uses the Twitter embed API to get a copy of the text and any alt text. An HTML representation is copied to the clipboard.

## Features

* 🗣 Avatars inlined as WebP

* 📸 All attached photos inlined

* 🎥 Video poster inline,  to original mp4

* 🔗 Hyperlinks don't use t.co

* #️⃣ Hashtags & @ mentions linked

* 🔄 Includes reply threads & quote Tweets

* 🕰 Semantic time

* 🔍 Schema.org metadata

* 🖼 Cards

* 📊 Polls

* ♥ , 🔁 & 🗨 counts

* 📖 Autosubmit the Tweet to Archive.org

## Usage

### tweet2html

* `python tweet2html.py 123` will get the Tweet with ID 123, create an embedded HTML, and copy it to the clipboard.

* `--thread` to get a parent or quote tweet

* `--css` if you want the CSS as well

* `--pretty` for pretty-printed HTML

* `--save` save the HTML to a file

* `--schema` adds Schema.org metadata

#### Typical Output

Run `python tweet2html.py -mtp 671919410630819840` and receive:

```html

## tweet2img

* `python tweet2img.py 123` will get the Tweet with ID 123, save a WebP screenshot, and print out the alt text.

* `python tweet2img.py 123 --thread` as above, but will include the parent Tweet if this is a reply.

* Screenshot and alt text are saved in the `output` directory.

* Clipboard receives a copy of the HTML - including data-encoded image - ready to paste in.

    * ``

##  Useful Examples

## Known bugs:

* Fractional Scaling may produce slightly fuzzy images (Wayland related?)

* On tweet2img, the alt text contains t.co URls rather than the expanded ones (could use entities?)

* Only some Twitter Cards are rendered in HTML (are there more?)

* No Dark Mode (overkill?)

* Many other things (probably?)
