Likes being missed due to retrieval method

[crystal]

Due to the way TAGS is retrieving tweets (searching for tweets with an ID greater than the last one added to the sheet), many tweets that were liked end up being missed. The Twitter timeline is not chronological and therefore tweets that were created before the previous tweet archived can be liked after that tweet is archived. Therefore a true complete archive is only possible by duplicating and wiping the sheet every day. Is there a way to do this better?

Ah so I’m guessing you are referring to the user/favorite collection. Great point about how the script collects likes. Currently the workaround you’ve found is the way to do it for now until I found a fix.
