Yo, so I’ve been trying to scrape tweets for a project, and man, it’s been a rollercoaster. Like, Twitter’s API is *supposed* to be the go-to, but it’s such a pain with all the limits and costs.
I’ve been messing around with some third-party tools like Tweepy and Snscrape, and honestly, they’re hit or miss. Snscrape’s pretty solid if you’re cool with coding a bit, but it’s not perfect.
Also, tried some web scrapers like Octoparse, but Twitter’s anti-scraping game is strong af. Like, they’ll block you faster than you can say “scrape tweets.”
Anyone got tips for 2023? What’s working for y’all? I’m tired of hitting walls every time I try to scrape tweets.
P.S. If you’re gonna suggest something, pls don’t say “just pay for the API” unless you’re offering to fund me lol.
