Scweet is a Python-based Twitter/X scraping library and CLI designed to collect tweets, profile timelines, followers, following lists, and user profile data without requiring the official Twitter/X API or a developer account. Instead of depending on deprecated unauthenticated scraping methods, it works by using X’s web GraphQL API together with authenticated browser cookies, which gives it a more current and practical approach for data extraction. The project supports a broad set of collection patterns, including searches by keyword, hashtag, user, date range, engagement thresholds, language, and location, making it useful for research, monitoring, and data gathering workflows. It is built for both local use and higher-volume runs, with support for proxies, dedicated accounts, and multi-account cookie handling to improve reliability at scale. Scweet also includes asynchronous method variants, a command-line interface, automatic credential persistence in a local database, etc.
