For personal, read-only scale this is genuinely kinda: twscrape plus a throwaway account gets you tweets from a few handles in a weekend. The gaps are the product: X actively fights automated access, so the DIY version breaks whenever X changes something, burns the accounts it runs on, cannot safely post or DM, has no real-time push, and does not scale. You pay for requests that keep working next week.

Build me a personal Twitter/X archive tool in Python. - Use twscrape (pip) for all X access; I will add one or two throwaway accounts with `twscrape add_accounts` myself. Never use my real account. - watchlist.txt holds up to 10 handles, one per line. - An hourly cron entry point `python fetch.py`: for each handle, pull new tweets since the last stored id and upsert into SQLite (tweets: id, handle, text, created_at, like_count, retweet_count, is_reply, is_quote). - Be gentle: shuffle handle order, sleep 5-15s between handles, and back off for an hour on repeated failures instead of hammering. - `python export.py <handle>` writes that handle's archive to JSON and CSV. - A localhost dashboard (Flask, one page): newest tweets across all handles, a per-handle sparkline of tweets per day, and a search box over a SQLite full-text index. - Local only: no cloud, no accounts beyond the burners, no telemetry; session data stays in twscrape's own store. - README: setup, the cron line, and a blunt warning that scraping X breaks routinely and burner accounts get flagged; when fetch.py starts failing, re-login or swap accounts. - Explicitly out of scope: posting, DMs, webhooks/streaming, more than ~10 handles, and anything commercial.
