TweetScraper is a Scrapy-based crawler that scrapes tweets and user information from Twitter Search without using Twitter's official APIs. It saves results as JSON files and avoids API rate limits, at the cost of less clean data.

Use cases

  • scrape tweets for a keyword or hashtag
  • collect twitter search results without api keys
  • gather tweet and user data as for research
  • crawl twitter search results with scrapy
  • download tweets mentioning a topic for analysis

When to choose

  • you need tweet data beyond official API rate limits
  • you want a simple scrapy-based twitter crawler
  • you prefer JSON output of tweets and user info

When to avoid

  • you need clean, structured API-quality data
  • you need official API features like streaming or posting
  • you need an actively maintained tool for current Twitter/X markup
