2023/09/16 The plugin has been taken down
2023/08/27 The old version API seems to be completely invalid and will not return any content
On July 9, 2023, the daily limit was lifted and the old version API was restored, but I don't know how long it will be available
Due to Twitter's update on restrictions, the API in the plugin has become invalid and the plugin cannot be used
I don't know when Twitter stopped using the free API. Previously, it was possible to apply for it to crawl content. There are many open-source crawlers on GitHub, but they require an API key. However, the new version API is expensive. Here is a browser crawler plugin that I have been using.

The content of this article is time-sensitive, and it is not guaranteed that this tutorial will still be available in the future.
This article only provides links to crawler plugins found online and their usage methods. It is strongly discouraged to use them for excessive crawling that consumes server resources.
Using crawlers without the official API violates Twitter's terms of use. We are not responsible for any consequences of using crawlers that result in account suspension or restrictions.
They will really suspend your account, and they won't unban you even if you appeal.
