Is there a Python script example on how to use the Initial cookies option with Apify’s API
So with the Twitter Scraper, there is a note close to the top of the page saying:
“On 30 June 2023, Twitter put all content behind a login, so scraping publicly available Twitter content is no longer possible. To extract data behind the login, you can use the Initial cookies option. Beware that this is an experimental/research feature, and you use it on your responsibility.”
I was wondering if anyone has an example script on how to use the Initial cookies option with Apify’s API in Python?
Would really appreciate any help. Thanks!
Ps.- With things changing so quickly with Twitter, I am assuming the Initial cookies option method still works (with Apify’s API in Python)

You could as well use https://apify.com/microworlds/twitter-scraper, it doesn't require any cookies 🙂

If I was on the monthly plan, is the $2 per 1000 tweets taken out from the monthly credit?

Exactly! 💯

Thanks. $2 per 1000 tweets is a little steep for me. Is there a way to reduce the cost on this? Currently I am doing this for personal research and if things turn out right, I may turn this into a business and would be happy to pay whatever the cost is and use Apify if this happens.
