Yep, Twitter does have some rules when it comes to searching for stuff and tracking profiles. They're not super strict about it, but there are some things to keep in mind to stay on their good side.
First off, if you're not a verified account, Twitter sets limits on how much searching you can do. They do this to keep things fair for everyone. If you go over those limits, Twitter might put the brakes on your account for a bit, or in some cases, suspend it altogether.
Now, about scraping data—Twitter isn't a big fan of it. They've got pretty clear rules against using bots or scripts to grab loads of info from their site. If they catch wind of you doing that, they could slap your account with a suspension or even kick you off the platform for good.
To steer clear of any trouble with Twitter's rules, here are some tips:
Stick to the rules: Make sure you read up on Twitter's terms of service and follow them closely. It's the best way to avoid any issues.
Use the right tools: If you need to gather data from Twitter, try using their official APIs. These are like the approved way to get info from Twitter without breaking the rules.
Watch your limits: Keep an eye on how much searching you're doing. If you're doing a lot, you might bump into Twitter's limits for non-verified accounts. Stay within those bounds to stay safe.
Say no to automation: Avoid using bots or scripts to scrape data from Twitter. It's a surefire way to get on Twitter's bad side. Instead, consider doing things manually or using those official APIs.
Respect people's privacy: When you're collecting data from Twitter, be mindful of other people's privacy. Don't go snooping around for personal stuff without permission.
By following these tips and playing by Twitter's rules, you can steer clear of any trouble and keep using the platform smoothly.

Non-verified accounts may face restrictions in terms of API usage, search limits, or scraping data, especially with higher activity, and Twitter may flag accounts for suspicious behavior. It's recommended to keep actions minimal and use proxies to avoid bans.
