For crawl tweets googlechrome, you might wanna look into Scrapy + rotating proxies. It’s a pain to set up, but once it’s running, it’s golden.
Otherwise, tools like Diffbot or Zenscrape are decent, but they’re not free. Twitter’s just made this way harder than it needs to be.

Wow, didn’t expect so many replies! Thanks y’all.
Tried Octoparse and it kinda worked, but hit a block after a few mins. Maybe I’ll give Tweepy a shot—never used Python before but guess it’s time to learn.
Anyone got a good guide for noobs on Tweepy? Or is it just trial and error?
Also, how often do you rotate proxies to avoid bans? Daily or per session?
