It stores session cookies in SQLite, automatically switches accounts when rate-limited, and returns either parsed Tweet/User/Trend objects (compatible with SNScrape's data model) or raw API responses. The library includes both a Python API for concurrent scraping and a CLI for one-off queries.\n\nYou add accounts via browser cookies (the most stable method), and twscrape handles session persistence, per-account proxies, and the mechanics of keeping your scraper running across rate limits. It supports search with product filters (Latest, Top, Media), tweet threads and replies, user timelines, followers, lists, communities, and trends. The async/await design lets you run multiple concurrent scrapers efficiently.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to scrape X/Twitter data at scale and can manage authorized account credentials responsibly. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, uses a permissive MIT license, and offers both programmatic and CLI interfaces. Main considerations: you must provide your own account cookies (no API key), and X's Terms of Service discourage multi-account use\u2014deploy with awareness of platform policy and your own risk tolerance."},"id":"twscrape","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/twscrape","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/twscrape.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/twscrape/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"twscrape","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Twitter GraphQL and Search API implementation with SNScrape data models"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":132475,"position":11550,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.20.0"}
