Wish you could dig into Twitter data but don't know how to code? Coding a Twitter scraper isn't for everyone, and **finding the right no-code tool** can feel like a wild goose chase. 

![best twitter scrapers - image11.png](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/best_twitter_scrapers_image11_cef89e9ab7.png "width=1001;height=878")

Well, I've done the legwork for you! In this article, I'm dishing out the **top 5 no-code Twitter scrapers** to collect tweets, profiles, and trends.

But what is a Twitter scraper and why do people use Twitter scrapers? 🤔

## What is a Twitter scraper?

A Twitter scraper is a tool or software program that automatically extracts data from Twitter. This data can include user tweets, profiles, hashtags, search results, and more.

**Twitter scrapers save you the time and effort** of manually collecting this information and present it in a structured format for easy analysis.

## Best Twitter scrapers of 2024

1. [Lobstr.io](#1-lobstr.io)
2. [Phantombuster](#2-phantombuster)
3. [Apify](#3-apify)
4. [Octoparse](#4-octoparse)
5. [Webautomation.io](#5-webautomation.io)

### Why Scrape Twitter data?

Twitter has more than [220 million daily active users](https://www.businessofapps.com/data/twitter-statistics/#:~:text=data%2C%20The%20Information-,Twitter%20Users,-Twitter%20had%20an), making it one of the most popular social media platforms worldwide. Scraping Twitter has multiple use cases including:

![twitter insights - image7.png](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/twitter_insights_image7_1943dbaca7.png "width=1507;height=645")

* Competitor analysis
* Trend identification
* Customer sentiment analysis
* Brand reputation management
* Influencer identification
* Finding potential customers or clients
* Academic research
* Building datasets for machine learning

But is Twitter scraping legal?

## Is it legal to scrape Twitter data?

Generally, scraping publicly available data is legal, as established by verdicts of [lawsuits like LinkedIn vs HiQ](https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/18/web-scraping-legal-court/). But the keyword here is ‘publicly available data’.

![webscraping legal - image18.png](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/webscraping_legal_image18_b7a33939ff.png "width=998;height=692")

But there are certain limitations. You should **avoid scraping private information** without explicit consent.

Also excessive scraping can put a strain on Twitter's servers. Make sure you **don't overload the server**. Plus be transparent about the source of your information.

> I’ve already discussed the legality of Twitter data scraping in detail in my article – [How to Scrape Twitter Profiles in 2024 [No-Code]](https://www.lobstr.io/blog/scrape-twitter-profiles-no-code). It’s a must read piece for data enthusiasts.

But why all this headache when **I can use the official Twitter API**?

## Why not use the official Twitter API?

Twitter does offer an API.  But no it’s **not the best option** for collecting data at scale. Why?

1. It’s soooo expensive
2. It has ridiculous limitations
3. You need good coding skills to interact with the API

[Twitter updated their API pricing and rate caps](https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/30/23662832/twitter-api-tiers-free-bot-novelty-accounts-basic-enterprice-monthly-price) last year after Elon’s takeover. This resulted in many indie developers having to [shut down their Twitter-based apps](https://mashable.com/article/twitter-new-api-pricing-kills-indie-developer-apps).

### Why has Elon Musk limited the API access?

Before Elon’s takeover, Twitter had no limits on viewing tweets and the official API also allowed developers to access up to [2 million tweets per month](https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/29/twitter-announces-new-api-with-only-free-basic-and-enterprise-levels/).

![twitter api old limit - image8.png](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/twitter_api_old_limit_image8_881e38e7e9.png "width=983;height=209")

Last year **Twitter updated their API pricing and rate caps**. The main reason why Elon limited the API access was cost cutting and boosting revenues.

Later that year, [Elon also limited the number of tweets](https://blog.hootsuite.com/social-media-updates/twitter/twitter-limits-the-number-of-tweets-you-can-read-per-day/) a user can read, post, and retweet. The read limits were revoked but the [other limitations still apply to free Twitter accounts](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/x-limits).

![twitter current limit - image15.png](https://d37gzvgyugjozl.cloudfront.net/twitter_current_limit_image15_79a3fabcb1.png "width=1036;height=573")

> I’ve explained API costing and limitations and why it’s not the best option for scraping Twitter data at scale in my article – [How to Scrape Tweets from Twitter (No Code)](https://www.lobstr.io/blog/scrape-tweets-without-coding).

So, we’ve confirmed the legality, learned why API is not a good choice, let’s address the elephant in the room now.

### Best for

**ScraperAPI is better for developers than casual users**. It works great if you need reliable access to Twitter data, but it’s not ideal for non-technical users or quick scraping tasks.

That's it. Now before wrapping up, let's answer some FAQs.

## FAQs

### What is the fastest Twitter scraper?

After comparing all 5 scrapers from the list, it’s clear that **Lobstr.io is the fastest Twitter scraper**. It also extracts the most number of data points.

### How to scrape data from Twitter using Python?

You can use APIs provided by Twitter scrapers in the list. Lobstr, Apify, and WebAutomation offer API access.

## Conclusion

That’s a wrap on our comparison of best Twitter scrapers. Ultimately **Lobstr.io wins the race** 🏆 with its fastest speed, most data attributes, and most affordable pricing.
