Detailed/customizable Tweet data retrieval/archiving with Spring for Twitter's actions.

As configured at install, this shortcut saves all available data from Spring for Twitter's Get Tweet action in three separate locations:

Custom Dictionary Default Layout

  1. The formatted (HTML-ish) content of the Tweet + its author's @, time of publication, and public URL are appended to a file at the root of one's iCloud Drive folder called, simply, tweets.txt.
  2. A custom dictionary of all available parameters (formatted in the order you see in the screenshot embedded above) is stored in Data Jar by Tweet ID at a key path chosen at installation.
  3. Formatted text along with the plain JSON text of the dictionary is stored in a new note in Apple Notes, in a folder specified at install. (You can leave that selection blank to store new notes in your default Apple Notes folder.)
