/* | |
* Description: | |
* Use it to get an array of tweets from a twitter profile. | |
* | |
* Note: this may stop working if Twitter devs update the DOM. | |
* Last tested date: 2018-11-07 | |
* | |
* How to use it: | |
* Copy-paste in the Chrome console, then type rettiwt() and hit Enter. | |
* Use JSON.stringify(rettiwt()) to get tweets data as a JSON string. | |
* Note: you must be on a twitter profile / stream page to make it work! (e.g. https://twitter.com/search?q=from:NASA+since:2018-10-01+until:2018-10-31) | |
