Hey, given Twitter's latest restrictions to publicly available data, this scraper's features have become limited 😏 You can read more about the issue and try one of the alternative scrapers on Apify Store at the top of the Actor's readme 👉 apify.com/quacker/twitter-scraper Hope I helped!
Hi Caroline, it's hard to say when or if it will be available again. As you know, since Twitter's acquisition things have been pretty crazy. We are currently evaluating our next steps, but as of this moment, you can only scrape profile names and tweet URLs though. If you have a large Twitter project, you can also consider sharing it here: apify.com/enterprise
Hey 👋 Unfortunately, the replies themselves are now hidden behind login. And since our scrapers only extract publicly available data, this kind of data is out of bounds. Hope I helped! 🙂
Two questions: 1. Does the scraper gets IP blocked by twitter after few concurrent tries? 2. Is there an api for this that can be directly called from one's javascript main.js?
Hi Harsh, 1. With an Apify plan (even the free!), you get access to a pool of proxies, which automatically rotate to bypass blocking 2. You can find a JavaScript API example in the actor's readme: apify.com/quacker/twitter-scraper/api Hope I helped! 🙂

Hey, Unfortunately, on 30 June 2023, Twitter put all content behind a login, so scraping publicly available Twitter content is no longer possible. To extract data behind the login, you can use the Initial cookies option. Beware that this is an experimental/research feature, and you use it on your responsibility. You can read more about the situation on the Actor's readme page: apify.com/quacker/twitter-scraper Thanks for understanding! 🙂
@@Apify thats such a shame, and they also ask for lots of money for really less amount of data. Thank you so much, now using the platform to extract data from instagram.

Hey there, unfortunately, users' liked tweets are now behind a log-in wall, so our scrapers are unable to extract this sort of data 😞 But you can still try searching for other, community-built Twitter scrapers on Apify Store, to see if they offer this functionality: apify.com/store?search=twitter Hope I helped!
Interesting. Is it possible to download video and image from tweet withouht the API? before is used V1.1 single tweet endpoint but it was deprecated some weeks ago. I can't believe they did this.
Hey Igor, unfortunately, Twitter Scraper does not allow scraping data behind login (which is necessary to extract information from the For You / Following tabs).

Hi, Unfortunately, Twitter does not have a language filter, but you can target a language by using language-specific keywords and choosing the desired country in the *Proxy configuration* tab 🙂 Hope I helped!
Hi Adiba, if you want to scrape a specific tweet, open the *Scrape by Twitter profile or Twitter URL* tab and input your tweet's URL into the *Do you want to scrape by Twitter URL?* field. Right above this input, you'll find a *Do you want to scrape replies in addition to tweets?* field. Here, make sure to have *Tweets and replies to other users* selected in order to extract replies, too 🙂 Hope I helped!

Using search options for the Twitter scraper is "momentarily unavailable" -- can you confirm when it will be available again?
Hi Caroline, it's hard to say when or if it will be available again. As you know, since Twitter's acquisition things have been pretty crazy.

Does this work for live tweets for instantaneous notifications? Like Twitter's Streaming Tweets API. It'll be good for time sensitive tweets.
