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
- Extract tweets from a specific user timeline without API credentials.
- Scrape public Twitter profiles for data analysis.
- Collect tweets based on hashtags or keywords without API rate limits.
Output
JSON
tweetData- Contains the scraped Twitter data such as tweets, user info, or other relevant content depending on the scraping 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 empty or incomplete data.
- Rate limiting or IP blocking by Twitter due to scraping activity may cause failures.
- Errors related to network connectivity or access restrictions may occur.
