I agree with you.

Easy Twitter enabled Javascript and shut down the backdor this code used
In detail:
Twitter has been developing since beginning of 2020 a new HTML Frontend with Randomly generated HTML Description Tags.
The scoll mechanism to load new tweets was already changed to work with javascript and unique session ID's in january 2020.
The URL "https://twitter.com/i/search/ with the &max_position=cursor" has been disabled in twitter.

It was surprising that with the russia collusion and other horse shit they didnt start to work to protect the data.

So as i said in April, the software is probably dead.

This doesnt work with the Twitter API not even close.

They changed the HTML Page to avoid non conscented web scrapping.

So is this library just donzo? It's over?

[zhicheng0501]

Temporarily. Yeah.
Hope it will be back soon

[pavstar619]

Thought I'd use this for my project. Guess that's not gonna happen anytime soon :(

[edmangog]

Same here. Trying the branch of selenium alternatively.

[sudz4]

Is there another good similar library that people are using?

[adamzvx]

same to me

[Simon-Smith-NKU]

same issue ，twitter disgust,

[qarampage]

Even I got 0 Tweets count. I posted a new tweet and still got Zero tweets. I spent a lot of time understanding the workflow and got 0 !

[sudz4]

just use tweepy instead

import tweepy as tw
#Importing twitter access keys from a separate file in this project folder:
from credentials import * #Using keys as a variable

#Setting up Twitter API connection:
def twitter_creds():
"""

"""

#Authenticate credentials using keys:
auth = tw.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET) #tells twitter I am valid user
auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_SECRET)

#Connect with API and authenticate:
api = tw.API(auth) #speaks to twitter
return api

#Finding some AI Tweets

search_words = "artificial+intelligence"
date_since = "2020-1-1"
#2020-3-12 outputted 669 tweets
#For fun let's see if we can get a little closer to 1000
#2020-3-12 gives me 673 tweets. 4 tweets in 3 months??? I don't know...
#2020-1-1 gets us to the limit set below of 1000
tweets = tw.Cursor(api.search,
q=search_words,
lang="en",
since=date_since).items(1000)

for tweet in tweets:
print(tweet.text)

As twitterscraper is (temporarily) dead, I thought I'd share my favorite alternative scraper. @mattwsutherland your solution requires an API-key (which is super hard to get) so unfortunately it's useless to most people here.

Simply go for TweetScraper - for me its working perfectly.
Also see this medium article providing a useful pandas snippet to set up a nicely formatted dataframe.

Installation for Ubuntu is straightforward as described. For Windows just do the following:

git clone https://github.com/jonbakerfish/TweetScraper.git
conda create -n tweetscraper python=3.7.7 -y
conda activate tweetscraper
conda install -y -c conda-forge scrapy ipython ipdb
pip install scrapy-selenium

Change to directory "TweetScraper" and test with

scrapy crawl TweetScraper -a query="foo,#bar"

[qarampage]

Thanks I will definitely 👍 try that
