for auth you just use the same leaked consumer keys from official twitter app that lets you use firehose for free: https://gist.github.com/shobotch/5160017 … ddg https://api.twitter.com/auth/1/xauth_password.json … for how to get a token

doing this or viewing the actual fleet via "media_url_https" does not trigger the read notification. there is a separate endpoint "/fleets/v1/mark_read" for marking things as read, but it appears to be optional :^)

(instagram does this in a smart way and will only let you prefetch two images without marking one as read before locking you out)

to anyone still confused by what a "fleet" is and what the implications of this are. they're supposed to self-destruct after 24h. this lets you archive them without the other person even knowing you've viewed it.

i have also just confirmed that the media URLs don't expire after 24h, so you can view fleets after they're deleted

Source code for my WIP scraper: https://www.hastebin.net/yjyhecoceg.rs I took down the public instance since you need to be logged in to fetch a list of fleets for a user now. It still doesn't mark them as read.

I'm not going to continue working on it, I've proven my point already. Don't market your new feature on a higher expectation of privacy, if you can't deliver it.
