Twayback: Downloading deleted Tweets from the Wayback Machine, made easy

Features Can download some or all of a user's archived deleted Tweets. Lets you extract Tweets text to a text file (yes, even quote retweets!). Has ability to screenshot deleted Tweets. Allows custom time range to narrow search for deleted Tweets archived between two dates. Differentiates between accounts that are active, suspended, or don't/no longer exist. Lets you know if a target handle's archived Tweets have been excluded from the Wayback Machine. Saves a log of the deleted tweet URLs in case you want to view on the Wayback Machine. Ability to rotate through a list of proxy servers to avoid 429 errors. You will need to do this for data sets larger than about 800 tweets.
