An advanced Twitter scraping & OSINT tool written in Python that doesn’t use Twitter’s API, allowing you to scrape a user’s followers, following, Tweets and more while evading most API limitations.
No authentication. No API. No limits.
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.
Twint also makes special queries to Twitter allowing you to also scrape a Twitter user’s followers, Tweets a user has liked, and who they follow (without) any authentication, API, Selenium, or browser emulation.
