Roam Research Plugin to extract saved tweet text into your graph.
NOTE: Because of recent changes to Twitter's API, if the API is unstable image extraction is temporarily disabled
To set up the format of your extracted tweet a simple template system is included, found in the Roam Depot plugin settings panel. For each supported {OPTION} the variable will be replaced with the extracted tweet information.
Options available to the template are {TWEET}, {URL}, {AUTHOR_NAME}, {AUTHOR_HANDLE}, {AUTHOR_URL}, {DATE}, {NEWLINE}, {IMAGES}. A default temlpate is included.
[[>]] {TWEET} {NEWLINE} [🐦]({URL}) by {AUTHOR_HANDLE} on [[{DATE}]]
To trigger the tweet extraction you have two options: Right click plugin or keyboard shortcut
To trigger via a keyboard shortcut click into the block and hit a CTRL + SHIFT + E.
If set, tagged tweets and threads will be automatically extracted when roam loads. This is particularly useful when using a Quick Caption solution on mobile. When browsing twitter share a tweet to roam and tag the block before sending it. Next time you load up your graph the tweet or thread will be automatically extracted.
To extract images from tweets a simple custom CORS proxy has been utalized. There is zero private data to be concerned about in using the included instance. Only the public tweet URL is sent through the proxy.
Click the button below and you will get a Glitch Remix of the proxy if you would like to check out the code.
