No authentication. No API. No limits.
|
|
|
|
Twint is an advanced Twitter scraping tool written in Python that allows for scraping Tweets from Twitter profiles without using Twitter's API.
|
|
|
|
Twint utilizes Twitter's search operators to let you scrape Tweets from specific users, scrape Tweets relating to certain topics, hashtags & trends, or sort out sensitive information from Tweets like e-mail and phone numbers. I find this very useful, and you can get really creative with it too.
|
|
|
|
Twint also makes special queries to Twitter allowing you to also scrape a Twitter user's followers, Tweets a user has liked, and who they follow without any authentication, API, Selenium, or browser emulation.
|
|
tl;dr Benefits
|
|
|
|
Some of the benefits of using Twint vs Twitter API:
|
|
|
|
Can fetch almost all Tweets (Twitter API limits to last 3200 Tweets only);
|
|
Fast initial setup;
|
|
Can be used anonymously and without Twitter sign up;
|
|
No rate limitations.
|
|
|
|
Limits imposed by Twitter
|
|
|
|
Twitter limits scrolls while browsing the user timeline. This means that with .Profile or with .Favorites you will be able to get ~3200 tweets.
