scrap particular hashtag on basis of date

[riishabhz]

hello
i have used this command:- twint -s pineapple --since 2019-12-05 -o file.csv --csv
but i am getting error like this:-
return datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d").strftime('%s')
valueError: Invalid format string

what could be the possible solution ?

[pielco11]

I'm unable to replicate your issue, also your syntax seems to be correct

[riishabhz]

yes i know but its not working , can you check is it working on your script.

[pielco11]

I just changed the since field to get some results

[riishabhz]

nope not working in my case :(

[pielco11]

I guess there's an incompatibility issue with Windows then

[riishabhz]

How can it be fixed?

As of now I suggest to not run on Windows

I've some ideas like raw text splitting

[riishabhz]

ok , please update me when its fixed :)

@pielco11
That's exactly what i was referring to.
And if i may ask a question :
How can i use timeDelta instead of Since and Until.

Cause those 2 doesn't seem working 😕

[pielco11]

@Ali-khavanin I removed timeDelta from the code since it was causing various issues, I'll push a workaround for Windows users

[pielco11]

Not having a Windows machine is quite limiting me, so I kindly ask you to retry now (git clone or pip+git) and let me know if something has changed

[riishabhz]

hello
i have cloned the project but still same result.

[Ali-khavanin]

hello
i have cloned the project but still same result.

hi there!
i don't exactly know why but if u use the same command on ubuntu it would work properly!
i tried it on a virtual box

[riishabhz]

hello
i have cloned the project but still same result.

ooh ok cool , will try on linux now, thanx for the information :)

[pielco11]

The issue is not fixed yet, I'll reopen this

[riishabhz]

my bad :p

[pielco11]

So, since Windows users are having issues while converting the formatted date to epoch, I removed the option to filter by hour. Now it should work as expected; an example for since and until is 2019-12-11, for non-Windows users 2019-12-11 12:00:00 is possible. What I've done should be considered as a workaround and not a solution

so should i clone again?

[pielco11]

@riishabhz yes, or even just git pull

[riishabhz]

i have done git clone ,still same results , not able to do

[pielco11]

@riishabhz may you post the error message please?

[riishabhz]

Hi,
I am having this same issue even with latest version, I am using windows PC.
Is there maybe any workaround we can do by defining the dates using the DateTime module?
Thank you

You should use - (hyphen-minus), not – (en-dash).
