Twitter Followers Scrapping

[jorj_dev]

Hello guys,

I'm trying to create a bot for twitter mass dm/ scrapping(getting all the followers of a specific user).

However, I'm encountering some issues on the user followers part. I've tried to do it via the API, which is not possible at least on the free tier because of the limited access, and I've tried to do it via the scrap method which is also not possible because there are only 50-60 users on the followers page.

Is there any other method to access the list of followers except the paid access to the API ?

Thanks.

You can use a browser automation library like selenium, go to the url with the list of followers, and order it to scrape all followers, scroll down, and repeat until you reach the end of the list. This isn't very fast, but it works.

I don't think there's another way, you can try:

• Scraping Likers of their posts
• Retweeters

Do this for a lot of their posts, remove duplicates and you will be left with a good list.

What do you want to do with them after they are scraped? Just to follow them, or what exactly?
