We regret to inform our users that on March 20, 2011 we will be removing the “Export and Download” and “API” features of the TwapperKeeper.com website.
While we realize that these features are very important to many of our users, this change comes at the request of Twitter to bring our service into alignment with the API Terms of Service (http://dev.twitter.com/pages/api_terms) regarding redistribution and syndication of content.
If you require access to structured raw tweets for analysis, we highly recommend leveraging the open source version of TwapperKeeper (yourTwapperKeeper) created during our partnership with JISC.
If you have any questions, please contact us at support@twapperkeeper.com.

What the …? If Twitter would provide access to all their tweets, we wouldn’t need such things as TwapperKeeper. And wouldn’t running your own TwapperKeeper instance also be against the Twitter ToS?
February 22, 2011 at 3:02 pm
Running yourTwapperKeeper for your own personal consumption would probably be ok because you would not be syndicating to others. Though you would be accepting the ToS in context of the account you use to connect to Twitter. I guess proceed at your own risk…

No you couldn’t this, my whole academic project leverages on the data i get from your site for mining, I feel totally doomed.

Can you provide any more detail on how TwapperKeeper’s services violate Twitter’s ToS? I’ve been working on possibly similar functionality and would like to understand this better.
February 22, 2011 at 4:55 pm
Basically the syndication of content is what they pointed to… contact me via email if you want to discuss in more detail. (support@twapperkeeper.com)

John,
We are looking to utilize the open-source version for our Music Education Academic Tweets that you all kindly put out, but we are having problem getting it to work, it looks as though a number of others have had it, but there has not been much progress/response over the last 4 months… It looks as though you had ago of it a couple months ago… We are getting the exact same issue and not error output, despite implementing the help there. Any assistance in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

John, I am sorry to hear that. I know you guys probably worked on this for a long time and it was very useful. Did Twitter give you any indication of whether they were planning to build their own replacement?
April 7, 2011 at 1:44 pm
Thanks Swan.
No this didn’t provide any information that would lead me to believe they are releasing their own.
