[Backend] implement the twitter API

[piotrostr]

Methods required:

• url lookup, for checking the twitter pages of new listings
• keyword search, for checks on the mindshare
• profile history, for sifting the projects that bought an existing page and changed the profile for the sake of scamming

Implementation language could be either Rust or TypeScript, if TS, put in ts-sdk directory

I can contribute with that if we agree on using a puppeteer client instead of the official api

oh absolutely, official API is way too expensive

it could even be a standalone service as long as it can provide a http interface! 😁

check if it would be easier to use the Rettiwt-API https://github.com/Rishikant181/Rettiwt-API

Hey, why not implementing lunarcrush api? i use it for 35 usd month but is perfect for analysis

official api is better especially the streaming api. I wrote twitter monitor using curl command from the ui, and it's delayed like 20s or so. I think instead of directly stream from twitter, we can find another service which can have the same experience. I once found WuupX, which is used by some degen trader to track new posts and the speed is good (around 0.1-0.25ms) at par with the stream official api
