Is it possible to see another persons tweets ranked by number of retweets?
by

Is there an app for that? That'd be really helpful for marketing.
Check out Twemex! https://twemex.app/
I would love this just as a twitter user.
Preferably in the form of browser extension.
From my friend: https://twemex.app/
Nice extension, but not 100% what I want; it doesn't show really TOP tweets, historically, but "recent highlights", which is really what twitter wants to highlight. Yes, I know twitter doesn't give away an open API, where you can get the really deep info about someone's feed (they sell that, I think). So I guess this extension is about as good as we can get without twitter's cooperation.
Oh and one small peeve. Sidebar scrolling is kind of flakey. There is no scrollbar or some easy way to peruse the side-feed, and mouse wheel something doesn't work.
Hi! I have figured out how to do this.
Twitter API has limitations, it doesn't allow you to fetch more than 3200 most recent tweets (and if you're using search, you're limited to the past 7 days).
But I have learned how to scrape it to get the most popular tweets (of all time) made by the user, I can now sort tweets by number of retweets, number of likes, and even a "virality" score (the number of retweets relative to the number of followers the user has).
I have two questions:
It shows best tweets of all time when you visit someone's profile: https://imgur.com/a/qLielgN
I know, I checked it out. Look what it's actually showing. They filter by the username and by
min_faves. This gives you "tweets above certain threshold, ordered by twitter algorithm, with heavy accent on recent", not the best of all time.Again, twitter doesn't want you to dig through someone's timeline without paying, so it's entirely understandable that this is the best we can get for free.
+1, I also would like to know that. Not aware of any tool that provides this info.

I have two questions:
Are you just going down someone's feed on the web? That also has limited span, at some point it runs out.
As for the questions:
Great! The reason I'm asking #1 is that my crawling process is not entirely automatic, I can't return the results for the person you're searching for in real-time, I have to spend 15-20 minutes manually scraping twitter search results. So if you were to tell me which people's tweets you'd like to see, I could scrape them for you.
I've just launched a prototype, it looks like this: https://toptweets.io/
So far I have added just the people I'm personally interested in, but if people find this stuff useful I'm planning to make several collections for the most interesting niches. So that a person can come to the website, pay like $20, and get a collection of ranked tweets in the niche they're interested in.
Since you asked, here's an extension from my friend: https://twemex.app/
