4TA

Welcome. This service archives tweets posted on certain boards.

An anon posts a Twitter/X/Nitter link.
We gently crawl the catalog and threads every few minutes to look for those links, and add them to a queue.
The queue is processed every three minutes and saves a copy of the Twitter thread.

Q&A

The fuck is a "4TA"?

That's for "4chan Tweets Archiver".

I want something to be removed, what do I do?

We accept to remove very violent, doxxing and other revealing content pertaining to individuals upon request.
Please send all links for review to "kody+4ta「at」rita「dot」moe" by email, or contact "kdy" on Rizon IRC.

Do note that we might refuse requests for self-posted PII, embarrassing or stupid posts.
Be careful of what you post, we're not the only people who archive your stuff.

Can we request links, will it load anything we ask?

No, the link to the Tweet has to be posted in a thread and then be found by our crawler.

What kind of links can be archived?

We're using this regex, based on 4chan XT's for embeds:


          /(?:(?:(?:fx|vx)?twitter|(?:fixup|fixv)?x|twittpr|xcancel)\.com|nitter\.\w+.\w+)\/(\w+\/status\/(\d+))/g

Basically, any status link from:

twitter.com
fxtwitter.com
vxtwitter.com
x.com
fixupx.com
fixvx.com
twittpr.com
xcancel.com
nitter.[domain].[tld]

Are attachments (pictures, gifs, videos) archived?

Currently not. We don't even save profile pictures.
But we'll be looking into what could be done to do it partially, as we don't think archiving every single attachment is financially feasible and generally a good idea (who knows what could be posted).

Can this be abused?

8-ball says "Absolutely".

I'm a nerd, do you have APIs?

Stats: GET /api/stats
References: GET /api/references/:id
Thread: GET /api/2/thread/:id
Status: GET /api/2/status/:id

"References" lists where that tweet was seen in a thread, if it was found in a thread.
The last two replicate fxTwitter's API under their "v2" path.
