Twint 是一个用 Python 写的 Twitter 抓取工具，允许从 Twitter 配置文件中抓取推文，不使用 Twitter 的 API。

Twint 利用 Twitter 的搜索语法让您从特定用户那里搜索推文，特定主题，主题标签和相关的推文，或者从推文中挑选敏感信息，如电子邮件和电话号码。

Twint 还对 Twitter 进行了特殊查询，允许您搜索 Twitter 用户的关注者，用户喜欢的推文，以及他们在 API，Selenium 或模拟浏览器的情况下关注的用户。

使用 Twint 和 Twitter API 的一些好处：

1. 可以获取几乎所有的推文（Twitter API 限制只能持续 3200 个推文）;
2. 快速初始设置 ;
3. 可以匿名使用，无需 Twitter 注册 ;
4. 没有速率限制

Twitter 的限制

Twitter 会限制用户可以浏览的时间线。这意味着通过 .Profile 或者 .Favorites 你只可以看到~3200 条推文。
