Hi! Is it possible in Twitter to get all the user information from the screenname, using snscrape?

Yes. CLI: snscrape --jsonl --with-entity --max-results 0 twitter-user screenname API: snscrape.modules.twitter.TwitterUserScraper('screenname').entity You will get an object similar to the ones on each tweet's user key. This is only available in the development version currently.
