Twitter Scraper

Twitter Scraper searches and extracts data from Twitter (with historic data from 2006) - parses and converts the data to structured formats: HTML table, JSON, CSV, Excel and XML.
Scraper returns a lot of irrelevant results

Hey! The scraper sometimes returns a lot of results that obviously have nothing to do with the query instead of returning and empty result. It seems be posts from accounts from some kind of shows like this one: https://twitter.com/NightlightsShow/status/1768382588194857381
or this one: https://twitter.com/Reloadedd94/status/1766867830669038003
Could you please check, why this happens from time to time? It leads to a lot of useless data.
Thank you!

Hi groovy_fiddle,
Sorry about that. That looks weird indeed. 🤔 I am not able to reproduce the issue after trying three times. How often do you experience the issue?
groovy_fiddle
It's pretty random and seems to be happening with a higher probability, the more runs we run in parallel and only seems to happen for queries that wouldn't return any results at all. From the last 200 runs it happened 7 times (leading to 700 extra posts).

Alright, I'll take a closer look at it this weekend. Keep you posted 👍

HO, just checking if you're still experiencing the issue?
groovy_fiddle
Hey! Yes, it still happens randomly:

Hmm, that is really weird, the thing is I can't seem to easily reproduce it in dev mode. Sorry about that - I will give it an extra pair of eyes! 👍
