I've been searching for this for a few days. Can anybody recommend a way to scrape tweets other than Tweet Attacks?
 
ya im also looking for a tool with i can scrape all tweets of a particular user
is there any tool available for this?
 
I've found a way for the time being...
1. Go to listoftweets.com
enter a keyword where it says search tweets and search
It gives you a 100 tweets, now click copy all as TEXT...and save the next to notepad
or I like to use Edit Pad Pro

2. You will know have a 100 tweets but the format will be all messed up with dates, @, etc.
So what you do is find a program or a site that can delete certain lines that contains phrases you don't like. I found a site called hxxp://textmechanic.com/Remove-Lines-of-Text-Containing.html
Once you get to this site you basically, paste your text file in the large box and where it says search for lines you're going to enter
- @
- http://twitter
- and lastly whatever date is listed in your tweets for example.. all of the tweets I'm looking to copy now say Sun Aug 14.. so I would just search for lines containing "Sun Aug" or I could do "Aug" if I had various dates in the tweets

3. Now you're going to have alot of whitespaces. You can delete these easily with Edit pad Pro by going to "Delete All Blank Lines" It's a little more complicated with notepad, as you have to do search and replace I believe. Edit Pad Pro is worth it anyway.. Its $5 but You should be able to find it for free.

It seems like alot of work but its really a fast process.
 
IF all you guys are still looking for something and willing to jointly sponsor..I can code a script for all of you to use..
Thanks
 
The purpose of scraping tweets is to have a archive of tweets to use for your multiple twitter accounts(assuming you have more than 10) If you have tons of twitter accounts its impossible to manually type tweets for them all.
 
So you can send the same tweet out of all your accounts?

nah not the same tweet.. you would scrape 1000s of tweets.. so you would divide them amongst the accounts.. To make the accounts seem more like real accounts

Just wanted to give thanks and say that I find this very useful.
 
I'm able to scrape up to 3,000 at a time from any given account. Or I have a premade list of about 50,000 on fiverr.
