Overview

This node, named Twitter Scraper, is designed to consume Twitter data without using the official Twitter API. It is useful for scenarios where users want to extract Twitter content or information without API access, such as scraping tweets, user profiles, or other public Twitter data.

Use Case Examples

1. Extract tweets from a specific user timeline without API credentials.
2. Scrape public Twitter profiles for data analysis.
3. Collect tweets containing specific hashtags or keywords for sentiment analysis.

Output

JSON

• data - The scraped Twitter data returned by the node, which may include tweets, user information, or other Twitter content depending on the operation.

Dependencies

• This node depends on an internal implementation of Twitter scraping logic (TwitterScraperV1) which does not use the official Twitter API.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues may include changes in Twitter's website structure that break the scraping logic, resulting in no data or incomplete data being returned.
• Rate limiting or IP blocking by Twitter due to scraping activity may cause errors or empty results.
• Errors related to network connectivity or access restrictions may occur.
