Is it possible to bypass Twitter requirements using Nitter?

Open rktfier opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

The current Twitter image download implementation requires the user to have an active Twitter account, and provide their phone number to Twitter in order to get a developer account. I was wondering if it would be possible to use Nitter instead of Twitter to receive images, removing the requirement of Twitter credentials.

@rktfier I just checked it out, seems pretty cool, I'll implement when I get time soon.

Just to update, I looked into this recently and it would take some work to implement as it wouldn't work at all the same as the Twitter API works, so I'd have to develop a parser for it and I'm not sure if/when I'll have time.

Integration of github.com/n0madic/twitter-scraper accomplishes this.
