I need to scrape usernames of someone how has over 200k Followers. Does anyone know a software that could do this very fast. any help, would be appreciated.
 
Give me a minute.

I'll try to create a tool for you.

Cool, thanks alot if you can.

I need it to be able to scrape the usernames of over 200k Followers in an account and save in TXT format line by line thou. That would be great. thanks

Just usernames.

I have bots already, and wont like to stress you alot. I just need it to get all usernames of the followers of an account.

Hey...whats up Empire? I built a tool a while back that scrapes the ID's...not the usernames....it depends on your bot, but most bots allow the ID's instead of username's. Also Scraping ID's is much faster than scraping username's (about 5 times). Well here it is... http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...tools/707481-get-mass-twitter-id-scraper.html

just tested it on my bot, and its showing error. its using the no. as usernames and not i.d so i cant follow or make use of them. My bot wont accept that. But the speed you talked about it awesome 5k per minute. thanks for letting me know
 
NO bot can do that thing fast for you. Unless you plan to use proxies.
as Twitter is not tracking down the request and its stopping to make further requests, so you need to slow down

I dont have a custom bot its a paid one and developer have added a 15 minute delay time after a specified amount of followers
But I am getting complete list download in 3-4 hours
 
Is it FL?

I tried FL, and scraped 100k Users in 6 hours. with one account no proxy. But it stopped when my internet connection cut off.

Couldn't continue cos it either wanted to start again. or i wasn't able to send request to twitter anymore. i think it's the later thou

twitter didn't do it. its cut off cos my laptop hibernate
 
Twitter api is the way to do this. You wont get your account blocked or something. Also you can bypass the rate limiting by using multiple single signin api keys.

if nothing works hit me up. I have done similar stuffs before. But make sure you try other exisiting softwares ad see if you can get it done.
 
I am actually testing my program right now for 6K+ followers. If this test is a succes ill give you the program. It's a very simple program that will create a internet explorer window, scroll to the bottom of all followers ( which indeed takes ages because it has to scroll to the bottom of 200K followers....... ) Than extracts all the usernames.

I am really curious if my program will work because damn.. 200K is a lot.. Will let you know if my program can handle it.
 
Oh, thanks. would be waiting for the result

I just downloaded over 800,00 but can't find the folder they are in. Or, maybe I have to export them to a folder. I can't figure it out. Also, what I wanted to do is clean these up a little before launching them into FL. I guess I will ahave to do this manually? 1,000 a day for a few months and maybe around 2,000 a day. I already bought a few thousand followers to help me get started.

If any of you know how exploit the download feature in FL please pm me.

Thanks,
Frank
