Twitter Web Scraper

Opens the Twitter web page and stores some content.

Twitter

A Twitter web scraper robot. Stores tweets (screenshot and text).

When run, the robot will:

  • open a real web browser
  • accept the cookie notice if it appears
  • hide distracting UI elements
  • scroll down to load dynamic content
  • collect the latest tweets by a given Twitter user
  • create a file system directory by the name of the Twitter user
  • store the text content of each tweet in separate files in the directory
  • store a screenshot of each tweet in the directory

Because Twitter blocks requests coming from the cloud, this robot can only be executed on a local machine (or triggered from the cloud with Robocorp App).

See Web scraper robot for detailed information about the robot!
