Can someone eli5 me. What’s scraping and how does it work? Like for example in the context of twitter with their current limitations, will scraping still work?
Scraping is getting a webpage as if you're a normal user going to that page in firefox/chrome and extracting the bits you want from it. If Twitter makes you sign in to view tweets (which I guess it will now?) then scraping won't help much, otherwise it probably will, however it may take a fair bit of trickery to get working
