Hey everyone! đź‘‹
So, I’ve been trying to scrape tweets for a project, and man, it’s been a rollercoaster. Twitter’s API changes in 2023 have made it trickier, but I’ve found a few tools that still work pretty well.
First off, Snscrape is my go-to for scraping tweets without hitting API limits. It’s lightweight and doesn’t require API keys, which is a lifesaver.
If you’re looking for something more GUI-based, Octoparse is decent, though it can be a bit slow.
For those who code, Tweepy with Twitter’s API v2 is solid, but you gotta deal with rate limits.
Oh, and don’t forget about Twint—it’s a bit hit or miss now, but when it works, it’s gold for scraping tweets.
Anyone else got tips or tools they’re using to scrape tweets in 2023? Would love to hear what’s working for y’all!
Cheers! 🍻
