How likely to get an IP ban on twitter?

[Camaleon-D]

Hey, I'm new to all of this and I was running my own python script to scrape the last tweet from around 200+ handles, and I'm wondering how likely am I get an IP ban from twitter? I've read that in the last 2 years they got stricter with it and I was a bit worried

Hi, this can happen very easily. It depends if you use Snscrape with your X Credentials. One suggestions is to use a secondary account and make use of cookies. But X is constantly changing their back end and making it harder and stricter to scrape. So yes, it is vetry likely that you will get caught (depending on the amount and time of scraping)

Also try to mimic a human behavior and integrate random wait times. I also integrated a custom header to simulate a real browser request
