Comparison/Compatibility between this and Twint #97

Closed DonaldTsang closed 4 years ago

DonaldTsang commented 4 years ago

What are the basic differences between this repo and Twint's API-free scraping?

DonaldTsang commented 4 years ago

cross-reference https://github.com/taspinar/twitterscraper/issues/248

bisguzar commented 4 years ago

According to my observations twitterscraper using beautifulsoup for scraping. Twitter-scraper (this repo) is using requests-html instead of bs4. And twitterscraper is more complex than this repo, this one is simplier

@bisguzar also any comments on https://github.com/twintproject/twint ?

bisguzar commented 4 years ago

Twint using bs4 too. But I don't know more :(

DonaldTsang commented 4 years ago

Might be a good idea to construct a features table between the repos so people can choose them with ease.

@DonaldTsang if you create an article about it I would gladly add a link to readme for this. Please feel free to contact me on twitter @bugraisguzar, or telegram (same as my github username).
