yes...i do!

lorenzoromani1983 commented 6 years ago

Solved by using linux. do you think it is possible to modify the script in order to scrape all the followers/friends of a user, or of a list of users, in order to make a network graph without having to wait weeks? The API is really inefficient for this kind of work...

Oh, yeah I use linux lol.

Scraping followers is difficult, the tweets are scrapable via a trick w/ the search operators. Followers can't be scraped in that way, it'd have to involve some nasty selenium work because the only way to get a person's followers is scrolling down the list.
