# Twitter Scraper
Golang implementation of python library <https://github.com/kennethreitz/twitter-scraper>
Twitter's API is annoying to work with, and has lots of limitations —
luckily their frontend (JavaScript) has it's own API, which I reverse-engineered.
No API rate limits. No tokens needed. No restrictions. Extremely fast.
You can use this library to get the text of any user's Tweets trivially.
## Usage
```golang
package main
import (
"fmt"
twitterscraper "github.com/n0madic/twitter-scraper"
)
func main() {
for tweet := range twitterscraper.GetTweets("kennethreitz", 25) {
fmt.Println(tweet.HTML)
}
}
```
It appears you can ask for up to 25 pages of tweets reliably (~486 tweets).
## Installation
```shell
go get -u github.com/n0madic/twitter-scraper
```
