Are Musk,s new limitations impacting this module? about twitter-scraper-selenium HOT 8 OPEN

Yes, this module is supposed to scrape public data only. Now, we can't access pages without logging in which leads to a blocker

from twitter-scraper-selenium.

so does that mean we cant scrape data at all? without logging in ?

from twitter-scraper-selenium.

Yeah, without logging in it is not possible currently

I how could we implement the logging in? Could you show how in code?

So scraping tweets now works, although I'm getting random 10, not the latest 10. I'm using this code:
from twitter_scraper_selenium import scrape_profile

scrape_profile(twitter_username="tim_cook",output_format="csv",browser="firefox",tweets_count=10,filename="tim_cook_tweetsV3",directory="C:/Users/MCOBPHD19/OneDrive/Documents/Dissertation")

But scraping profile details doesn't. Using:
from twitter_scraper_selenium import get_profile_details

twitter_username = "tim_cook"
filename = "timCookProfile"
get_profile_details(twitter_username=twitter_username, filename=filename)

The error I get is this. Is this still the authentication issue? If so, why can I now scrape tweets?

I'm struggling with this same issue. Is there any workaround?

from twitter-scraper-selenium.

There are still problems for users scraping without logging in. The tweets are not present the same as it is present for logged-in users on Twitter
