Sorry if this was already covered somewhere in a blog post or another update but I can’t find any answers in this forum. There used to be an official module that we could import @mbostock/tweet that allowed you to do some parsing of tweets from a Twitter data archive. I’m revisiting some old notebooks and that module is no longer found or is unable to be loaded. Is this now only available to private accounts or does anyone know what happened to it?

I think I found it at @observablehq/tweet but it looks like maybe Twitter has taken down widgets.js? The @observablehq module also is not able to load.

Strange… it looks like it is working?

D’oh.

Firefox’s Tracking Protection was blocking access. /facepalm

Ignore me… I’ll go be an idiot elsewhere. 🤣
