Yo, been there! Twitter’s anti-scraping game is strong.
First off, *slow down*. Even 5 sec delays can get you flagged if you’re hitting the same endpoints repeatedly. Try 10-15 sec between requests, and mix up your endpoints (like, don’t just scrape tweets—grab profiles, likes, etc.).
Proxies are a must. Free ones *are* trash, but you don’t need crazy expensive ones. I use Luminati’s mid-tier plan and rotate IPs every 100 requests.
Also, check out ScraperAPI—it handles a lot of the blocking logic for you.
