Introducing the Twitter Scraper API

We're thrilled to announce that we are now live with our Twitter scraper API. With recent news coming from Twitter that Elon Musk plans to hike up the monthly prices for developers to use the official API and also depreciation of endpoints which Twitter gave little to no notice of sunsetting, we are excited to provide some stability to developers who rely daily on getting data from the social media platform.  

Back in the day, Twitter was a simple ‘microblogging’ system for users to post short tweets, in just 140 characters (now that limit has grown to 280 characters) has made the social media platform one of the most active places to discuss news and current affairs on the internet.
