Scrape the Twitter Frontend API without authentication.

Project description

Twitter Scraper

Twitter’s API is annoying to work with, and has lots of limitations — luckily their frontend (JavaScript) has it’s own API, which I reverse–engineered. No API rate limits. No restrictions. Extremely fast.

You can use this library to get the text of any user’s Tweets trivially.

Very useful for making markov chains.

Usage

It appears you can ask for up to 25 pages of tweets reliably (~486 tweets).
