# TweetedAt
[TweetedAt](https://oduwsdl.github.io/tweetedat/) extracts date and time from the tweet ID by reverse-engineering [Twitter Snowflake](https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/a/2010/announcing-snowflake.html).

## Why not check on Twitter directly?
* It is the only web service which allows users to find the timestamp of the Snowflake tweet IDs and estimate tweet timestamps for pre-Snowflake Tweet IDs.
* Twitter developer API has [access rate limits](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/rate-limits). It acts as a bottleneck in finding timestamps over a data set of tweet IDs. This bottleneck is not present in TweetedAt because we do not interact with Twitter's developer API for finding timestamps.
* [Deleted]((https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/delete-tweets)), [suspended](https://help.twitter.com/en/managing-your-account/suspended-twitter-accounts), and [protected](https://help.twitter.com/en/safety-and-security/public-and-protected-tweets) tweets do not have their metadata accessible from Twitter's developer API. TweetedAt is the solution for finding the timestamps of any of these inaccessible tweets.

## Python Script: TimestampEstimator.py
The script can be used for:
* finding the timestamp of any Snowflake ID or estimating timestamp of any pre-Snowflake ID
* creating a test set of pre-Snowflake IDs
* calcualting error of the test set
### Using CLI Version of Python Script
* Option -h: for help
```bash
$ ./TimestampEstimator.py -h
usage: TimestampEstimator.py [-h] [-s [TESTSET [TESTSET ...]] | -d [DATASET] |
-e | -t TIMESTAMP]
Create a pre-Snowflake Tweet Id dataset based on threshold value, Find
timestamp of any pre or post Snowflake Tweet id ,Create Pre-Snowflake Twitter
test dataset and check errors on them
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-s [TESTSET [TESTSET ...]]
Create test set with argument of start, end Tweet Id,
and no. of data points
-d [DATASET] Create a dataset with argument of threshold value in
seconds
-e Check error on pre-Snowflake ids
-t TIMESTAMP Find timestamp of any tweet id
```
* Option -t: for finding timestamp of a Tweet ID
```bash
$ ./TimestampEstimator.py -t 20
```
* Option -d: for creating pre-Snowflake data set for estimating timestamp. It accepts the threshold value in seconds. When no parameter is supplied, it creates a weekly data set.
For creating daily data set
```bash
$ ./TimestampEstimator.py -d 24*60*60
```
* Option -s: For creating test set. It accept start tweet ID, end tweet ID,number of test data points, and data point interval as parameters.
For creating a weekly data set of 10 tweet IDs between tweet ID 20 and 1000
```bash
$ ./TimestampEstimator.py -s 20 1000 10 7
```
For creating random data set of 100 points between tweet ID 20 and 1000
```bash
$ ./TimestampEstimator.py -s 20 1000 10 7
```
* Option -e: Calculates error csv file of the test set
```bash
$ ./TimestampEstimator.py -e
```
