Hi WY, thank you for creating the scraper, it is really helpful. I had one question - why did you add the login section? Can I remove the login and pw for scraping handles that are not private? I am trying to scrape handles that are not private, so I was wondering how I can use your scraper to get at these.

The original purpose of this script is to scrape all traffic results for all personal tweets. That's why login is necessary in order to get those figures. If you only want to scrape tweets that are public, there is no need to include the login section. Just inspect the tweet page and look for what you want
