C.E.R.T.O.
C.E.R.T.O.
Posts with their replies, followed page after page to the end. Profile with published content, metrics and picture.
No option to tick, no separate module to buy, no extra cost: it is the Web pages module, at its own rate.
On X what matters is almost always the chain: the post and the replies piling up beneath it, often from different authors at different times. The replies are not in the page: they are requested from the service one page at a time, following a continuation.
There is a trap measured in the field: X keeps offering a continuation even when it has nothing left to give. A loop that stops only at the missing continuation keeps asking in vain until the network gives way, and then writes in the bundle that collection failed — when in fact it had finished long before. C.E.R.T.O. stops after three pages with no novelty and states which was the last one with content.
Only what the program actually does: every item matches a collection that exists in the code and has been tested on real acquisitions.
Content, author, metrics and the replies followed to the end, with the reason for stopping stated.
Downloaded separately as a standalone file with its own hash, when the post carries one.
Details and published content. The details are taken from the author node of the content, and the bundle states that this is the source.
Replies arrive from the service without being drawn on screen: a periodic capture would photograph the same thing over and over. Only the frame that changes is kept, and how many were removed is written in the bundle.
Recognition looks at the domain and the shape of the address. If it recognises nothing, it stays an ordinary web page acquisition: nothing is lost.

social/x/raw-api/The bundle's interactive.html dashboard presents them in tables with search and sorting, and works offline, on a double click, even on a computer without C.E.R.T.O. installed.
Where collection goes through a service, every response is preserved verbatim with its provenance envelope: queried address, method, status, moment of receipt. Anyone contesting the data can go back to the source rather than trusting our table.
A BagIt 1.0 bundle with an Ed25519 signature, a double RFC 3161 timestamp and a CASE/UCO description, verifiable by anyone, offline, with the included verifiers.
The document reports how many items the platform announces, how many were collected and why collection stopped. A stated limit is worth more than an asserted completeness.
The questions we are asked most often about this platform.
All inside the Web pages module, all recognised from the address, all at the same rate.
