Honestly? Just pay for a twitter scraper that works.
I wasted weeks tweaking delays/proxies before caving and using Phantombuster.
Zero blocks since then. Worth the $50/mo for my sanity.

Y’all are legends—did *not* expect this many replies.
Tried the 30 sec delay + Luminati proxies today and… it worked?! No blocks for 4 hours (a new record lol).
Quick Q: Anyone know if Twitter cares about *what* you scrape? Like, does grabbing tweets vs profiles trigger different limits?
Also, big thanks for the tool recs. Gonna test ScraperAPI next.
(Still mourning my lost brain cells tho.)
