twscrape is an async Python library and CLI for scraping X/Twitter via its Search and GraphQL endpoints using a pool of your own accounts. It stores sessions in SQLite, rotates accounts when rate-limited, and returns parsed SNScrape-style models or raw API responses.

Use cases

• scrape tweets matching a search query from X/Twitter
• fetch user profiles and followers from Twitter without the official API
• rotate multiple Twitter accounts to bypass rate limits
• collect Twitter data for social network analysis
• run concurrent async Twitter scraping jobs
• export tweets from accounts using browser cookies

When to choose

• you need programmatic access to X/Twitter data without paying for the official API
• you have multiple accounts and want automatic rate-limit-aware rotation
• you want both a Python API and a ready-made CLI
• you need SNScrape-compatible parsed models or raw GraphQL responses

When to avoid

• you have no X/Twitter accounts or cookies to supply, since the tool requires authorized accounts
• you need a fully compliant, ToS-safe official API integration
• you want scraping of platforms other than X/Twitter
• you cannot accept the risk of account suspension from scraping
