I can successfully record Twitter spaces

    It's possible to download the recordings via Twitter too. I think you have to request your data and then you get access to download it after 24 hours or so.

    I'm currently doing 100 Days of Twitter Spaces, I'm not bothering with recordings, but it would be nice to create an archive of them for future attempts. Not sure I can be bothered with the time/cost of editing though.

      Well yes, Twitter does allow the host to download the audio file. There is really No user interface to do it. Like you said, you can request a copy of all of your data from Twitter. Which the Twitter website says it can take about 24 hours.

      The key thing about this is that only the host, and possibly the speakers, can actually download the audio recording. What if a host does not care about downloading it to share it around? But one or many listeners wanted to actually be able to listen to the space later?

      Where the tool I'm building becomes super useful is for listeners to be able to download and record any Twitter space they want.
      So say for example, they get notified about a Twitter space starting. All they have to do is input the link to this tool, then it will record the entire Twitter space audio.

    If you were able to not only record, but push to both Twitter Spaces and Clubhouse at the same time... this could be huge!

      Oooh yeah, I could see that! 💪
      I have not personally used clubhouse before. Have you used both platforms? What is your take on them, especially compared to each other?

      1. 2

        I've used both, and I admit I prefer Twitter Spaces purely because it's accessible to more people. Clubhouse was really slow to release Android and they still don't have a web app, meanwhile Twitter Spaces has all of the above. But, there's different audiences everywhere, so if you could have the same discussions streamed to multiple spots, it could be super useful, especially for content creators!

          That makes sense. Maybe I'll look into it then after I've gotten the spaces version fully functional

    nice, with or without joining it? one at a time or multiple in parallel?

      No login required. Right now, just one at a time. But in theory, multiple. It's still and early prototype :)
