Wayback — twitter/x URLs
The Wayback Machine applied to twitter.com and x.com URLs, returning archived snapshots of tweets and profiles where they were crawled. You can check whether a specific tweet was captured and open the saved copy via replay links. It is among the more reliable ways to recover deleted tweets, though coverage is patchy and strongest for high-profile accounts.
Social API
Why it’s useful & how it works
Same Wayback backend as Wave 1; tweet coverage is capture-dependent. Availability API = existence check, CDX = all captures of a handle's tweets.
What’s inside
Patchy (crawled URLs); strong for high-profile accounts.
