Twitter Scraping API

With Twitter Scraping API you scrape any tweet. You just have to pass the URL of that tweet and our API will return the parsed JSON data.

Each successful request will cost you 10 API credits. Twitter Scraping API pricing is available here.

You have to send a GET request to http://api.scrapingdog.com/twitter with the below-given parameters.

Parameters

parsed required	This is a boolean that tells our server to return JSON or HTML. If you pass true then our server will return a JSON response and if you pass false then HTML will be returned. Type: Boolean
url required	This is the tweet URL. Type: String

API Example

cURL

curl "https://api.scrapingdog.com/twitter?api_key=5eaa61a6e562fc52fe763tr516e4653&url=https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1655608985058267139&parsed=true"

Python

import requests

api_key = '5eaa61a6e562fc52fe763tr516e4653'
url = 'https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1655608985058267139'
parsed = 'true'  # Use 'true' or 'false' based on your requirements

params = {
    'api_key': api_key,
    'url': url,
    'parsed': parsed
}

response = requests.get('https://api.scrapingdog.com/twitter', params=params)

if response.status_code == 200:
    # Parse the JSON response using response.json()
    response_data = response.json()
    
    # Now you can work with the response_data as a Python dictionary
    print(response_data)
else:
    print(f'Request failed with status code: {response.status_code}')

Nodejs

const axios = require('axios');

const parsed = 'true'; // Use 'true' or 'false' based on your requirements

const params = {
  api_key,
  url,
  parsed,
};

axios
  .get('https://api.scrapingdog.com/twitter', { params })
  .then((response) => {
    if (response.status === 200) {
      // Parse the JSON response
      const responseData = response.data;
      console.log(responseData);
    } else {
      console.error(`Request failed with status code: ${response.status}`);
    }
  })
  .catch((error) => {
