Scraping twitter is a nightmare, honestly. I’ve tried Octoparse, and it’s okay for basic stuff, but it’s not great for large-scale scraping. I’ve had better luck with Scrapy + rotating proxies.
One tip: if you’re scraping twitter, try to mimic human behavior as much as possible. Add random delays between requests and avoid hitting the same endpoints repeatedly. It’s tedious, but it works.
Also, check out ScrapingBee—they handle proxies and CAPTCHAs for you. It’s a bit of a shortcut, but it saves time.
