Twitter Web Scrapping Using Twint , Without needing API

Twint is an advanced tool for Twitter scrapping. We can use this tool to scrape any user’s followers, following, tweets, etc. without having to use Twitter API.Twint is an advanced Twitter scraping tool written in Python that allows for scraping Tweets from Twitter profiles without using Twitter's API.

Twint utilizes Twitter's search operators to let you scrape Tweets from specific users, scrape Tweets relating to certain topics, hashtags & trends, or sort out sensitive information from Tweets like e-mail and phone numbers. I find this very useful, and you can get really creative with it too. Here are some of the benefits

Twitter API has restrictions to scrape only the last 3200 Tweets. But Twint can fetch almost all Tweets. Set up is really quick as there is no hassle of setting up Twitter API. Can be used anonymously without Twitter sign-up. It’s free!! No pricing limitations. Provides easy to use options to store scraped tweets into different formats — CSV, JSON, SQLite, and Elasticsearch.
