hoangthangbk51 commented 2 years ago

OH , I i happy to hear that. Can you give me some instruction

shaikhsajid1111 commented 2 years ago

There are several ways I see,

  1. You can use twitter's API. But It often has a rate limit and is sometimes hard to deal with.
  2. You can use this library with the proxy of the country which might have loose internet laws. You're hitting auth wall frequently probably that's the reason. I tried the same username twice or thrice and it worked for me.
  3. You can even check this library https://github.com/JustAnotherArchivist/snscrape. Not sure if is still working but last year it was working though, it uses Twitter's API I assume.

If you're planning to create your own web crawler, you can't use simple HTTP requests to scrape because front-end code is injected via JavaScript. You must use a Web browser in an unofficial way but still, you'll have to deal with auth wall. Have a look at their API documentation, they've tweet id in their API response which they call the status field, you can just use that single field to generate a tweet's URL. Tweet's URL can be generated just by simple string concatenation https://twitter.com/{twitter_username}/status/{status} . I think they probably will have some similar mechanism for retweets as well. Your data for requirements are much simpler and can be resolved via API itself, if you need more data which is not present in their API then you should go with this library.
