Does anyone know of a way to access historic @birdwatch data? Or if anyone has an archive/mirror?

The files on public data download page seem to only have data from the last ~24 hours, though the documentation implies that *all* of it will be published

I'm thinking of examining this community-based quasi-factchecker moderation-adjacent tool as part of my dissertation, and want to make sure that I have copies of this data before Musk possibly renames it "community notes" and/or axes it completely

Ah shoot, I should have read the docs more carefully....

I'll amend my previous question: does anyone know of an archive or mirror of historic @birdwatch data?

A bit of shoddy python later, and I'll be saving daily copies of all public data moving forward.

Includes notes contributed by @birdwatch users, metadata about tweets they're responding to, and (anonymized) info about who is adding and rating notes.

Personally, I'm very interested in how many people are contributing and ranking these context notes as well as discussion in notes about how Users perceive the goal of @birdwatch notes and what types of content "needs" extra context
