Description

Extractor for public Twitter/X posts and profiles using Nitter, possibly via ntscraper:
https://github.com/bocchilorenzo/ntscraper

X requires login just to view public posts, so normal HTML archiving is unreliable.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked ntscraper project and how it could provide public Twitter/X posts and profiles through Nitter. Done means defining and implementing an extractor that works with ArchiveBox and abx-dl for those public resources, with the supported scope and behavior made explicit.
