A Python library that scrapes tweets and user information from Twitter using requests and BeautifulSoup, without relying on Twitter's official APIs. It bypasses API rate limits and the 7-day search window to collect tweet metadata such as text, hashtags, likes, and retweets.
Use cases
- scrape historical tweets older than 7 days
- collect tweets matching a keyword or hashtag
- gather user profile stats like followers and tweet counts
- mine tweet metadata for research datasets
- avoid Twitter API rate limits when collecting tweets
When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool — the project has been inactive since 2022 and Twitter's frontend changes likely break it
- you require official API compliance or guaranteed reliability
- you need real-time streaming data
