## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-scraping, parser, http-client
- domain: crawlers, social-media, data-science
- platform: python, cli
- tags: twitter, tweets, beautifulsoup, no-api, social-media-data
