        >No authentication. No API. No limits.
        
        Formerly known as Tweep, Twint is an advanced Twitter scraping tool written in Python that allows for scraping Tweets from Twitter profiles **without** using Twitter's API.
        
        Twint utilizes Twitter's search operators to let you scrape Tweets from specific users, scrape Tweets relating to certain topics, hashtags & trends, or sort out *sensitive* information from Tweets like e-mail and phone numbers. I find this very useful, and you can get really creative with it too.
        
        Twint also makes special queries to Twitter allowing you to also scrape a Twitter user's followers, Tweets a user has liked, and who they follow **without** any authentication, API, Selenium, or browser emulation.
        
        ## tl;dr Benefits
        Some of the benefits of using Twint vs Twitter API:
        - Can fetch almost __all__ Tweets (Twitter API limits to last 3200 Tweets only)
        - Fast initial setup
        - Can be used anonymously and without Twitter sign up
        - **No rate limitations**
        
        ## Requirements
        - Python 3.6
        - `pip3 install -r requirements.txt`
        
        ## Installing
        - **Git**: `git clone https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git`
        - **Pip**: `pip3 install --upgrade -e git+https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git@origin/master#egg=twint`

        ## Module Example
        
        Twint can now be used as a module and supports custom formatting. **More details are located in the [wiki](https://github.com/twintproject/twint/wiki/Module)**
        
        ```python
        import twint
        
        # Configure
        c = twint.Config()
        c.Username = "now"
        c.Search = "pineapple"
        c.Format = "Tweet id: {id} | Tweet: {tweet}"
        
        # Run
        twint.run.Search(c)
        ```
        > Output
        
        `955511208597184512 2018-01-22 18:43:19 GMT <now> pineapples are the best fruit`
        
        ```python
        import twint
        
        c = twint.Config()
        
        c.Username = "noneprivacy"
        c.Custom["tweet"] = ["id"]
        c.Custom["user"] = ["bio"]
        c.Limit = 10
        c.Store_csv = True
        c.Output = "none"
        
        twint.run.Search(c)
        ```
        
        ## Storing Options
        - Write to file
        - CSV
        - JSON
        - SQLite
        - Elasticsearch
        
        ## Elasticsearch Setup

        ## FAQ
        > While scraping tweets and saving them to a database, I want also save users infos
        
        Pass `--user-info` to CLI, or specify `c.User_info = True` if you are using Twint as module.
        
        > I tried scraping tweets from a user, I know that they exist but I'm not getting them
        
        Twitter can shadow-ban accounts, which means that their tweets will not be available via search. To solve this, pass `--profile-full` if you are using Twint via CLI or, if are using Twint as module, add `config.Profile_full = True`. Please note that this process will be quite slow.
        ## More Examples
        
        #### Followers/Following
        
        > To get only follower usernames/following usernames
        
        `python Twint.py -u username --followers`
        
        `python Twint.py -u username --following`
        
        > To get user info of followers/following users
        
        `python Twint.py -u username --followers --user-full`
        
        `python Twint.py -u username --following --user-full`
        
        #### userlist
        
        > To get only user info of user

        #### Only tweets without user info
        
        > To get only tweets without user info
