I'm new and I want to run a private instance to scrape tweets

Open CubeAuCarre opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Hi !

For a webscraping project I tried to run a local instance of Nitter.

Tried downloading Nitter and running it on a local Redis server but I'm not sure if it's ran correctly.

I'm getting

user@DESKTOP-ND6TROH:~/nitter_server/nitter$ ./nitter Starting Nitter at http://shinywil Connected to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379

can i directly start to make requests to get tweets to : 127.0.0.1:6379 ? Is Nitter already connected and ready to print out tweets ?

Thank you in advance for your responses !!

Nitter no longer works.

If you use a version that supports regular accounts, you can use those for a local instance. We used to use guest accounts, but those can't be created anymore.

There is a repository to do a local nitter with regular accounts to scrape tweets?
