Twitter Scraper

Go Reference

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 tokens needed. No restrictions. Extremely fast.

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

Installation

go get -u github.com/n0madic/twitter-scraper

Usage

Get user tweets
package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    twitterscraper "github.com/n0madic/twitter-scraper"
)

func main() {
    scraper := twitterscraper.New()

    for tweet := range scraper.GetTweets(context.Background(), "Twitter", 50) {
        if tweet.Error != nil {
            panic(tweet.Error)
        }
        fmt.Println(tweet.Text)
    }
}

It appears you can ask for up to 50 tweets (limit ~3200 tweets).

Get single tweet
package main

import (
    "fmt"

    twitterscraper "github.com/n0madic/twitter-scraper"
)

func main() {
    scraper := twitterscraper.New()
    tweet, err := scraper.GetTweet("1328684389388185600")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    fmt.Println(tweet.Text)
}
Search tweets by query standard operators

Tweets containing “twitter” and “scraper” and “data“, filtering out retweets:

package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    twitterscraper "github.com/n0madic/twitter-scraper"
)

func main() {
    scraper := twitterscraper.New()
    for tweet := range scraper.SearchTweets(context.Background(),
        "twitter scraper data -filter:retweets", 50) {
        if tweet.Error != nil {
            panic(tweet.Error)
        }
        fmt.Println(tweet.Text)
    }
}

The search ends if we have 50 tweets.

See Rules and filtering for build standard queries.

Set search mode
scraper.SetSearchMode(twitterscraper.SearchLatest)

Options:

  • twitterscraper.SearchTop - default mode
  • twitterscraper.SearchLatest - live mode
  • twitterscraper.SearchPhotos - image mode
  • twitterscraper.SearchVideos - video mode
  • twitterscraper.SearchUsers - user mode
Get profile
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    twitterscraper "github.com/n0madic/twitter-scraper"
)

func main() {
    scraper := twitterscraper.New()
    profile, err := scraper.GetProfile("Twitter")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    fmt.Printf("%+v\n", profile)
}
Search profiles by query
package main

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    twitterscraper "github.com/n0madic/twitter-scraper"
)

func main() {
    scraper := twitterscraper.New().SetSearchMode(twitterscraper.SearchUsers)
    for profile := range scraper.SearchProfiles(context.Background(), "Twitter", 50) {
        if profile.Error != nil {
            panic(profile.Error)
        }
        fmt.Println(profile.Name)
    }
}

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    twitterscraper "github.com/n0madic/twitter-scraper"
)

func main() {
    scraper := twitterscraper.New()
    trends, err := scraper.GetTrends()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    fmt.Println(trends)
}

Some specified user tweets are protected that you must login and follow. Cookie and xCsrfToken is optional.

scraper.WithCookie("twitter cookie after login")
scraper.WithXCsrfToken("twitter X-Csrf-Token after login")
Use Proxy

Support HTTP(s) and SOCKS5 proxy

with HTTP
err := scraper.SetProxy("http://localhost:3128")
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
with SOCKS5
err := scraper.SetProxy("socks5://localhost:1080")
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
Delay requests

Add delay between API requests (in seconds)

scraper.WithDelay(5)
Load timeline with tweet replies
scraper.WithReplies(true)
