[Question] Is there a way to use a twitter acc in combination with nitter (or an alternative twitter front end using your twitter login)

[back-lacking]

what the question says
wondering if there is a way to use nitter with a twitter account? i have an account i dont care about and would like to use that to view the occasional tweet using the front end. ik that using an twitter acc to look at tweets using nitter defeats the point of nitter existing
if there isnt, is there an alternative service or nitter fork that allows this?

Yes, there is a way. Actually, that's the only way left to use Nitter.

I recently learned that that's exact how https://github.com/PrivacyDevel/nitter is able to continue to functioning these days. It's also how they have been able to display age-restricted content.

@pin-grid-array i see. Can i know how this is done?

[pin-grid-array]

@back-lacking I actually don't know how. I'm just a former ordinary Nitter user and it's beyond my expertise. Ask in that fork.

A while ago I collected various instructions from people who tried setting up their own instance using a Twitter account, but I don't know if any of that still applies.

(I just noticed that there are a bunch of typos in my previous reply to you. Sorry about that!)

you can use other ways aside from nitter. If you are planning to use ur twitter account. I can share you hwhat i use

@doffn if you do have a 3rd party viewer, send it in. Perferebly one that can be deployed on docker.
On a side note, on android i use an app called quacker. Its on fdroid.

@back-lacking sorry for the late response. I used two methods to scrape tweets:

1. Using twitter-api-client : require cto and auth_token from your cookies. You can direcly tweet, dm, follow , like and scrape tweets using this. this require the latest python version. It can also scrape multiple account at once.
2. Using tweety: this requires the full session. i use this to scrape tweets. I didnot find any inherent way to scrape multiple account at once.

After getting the data do what ever you like with it. becare full on the rate limit. You can avoid this by using multiple account.
