How TweetScraper collects public data responsibly, ethically, and in full compliance with applicable law.
At TweetScraper, we collect data exclusively from publicly accessible Twitter/X profiles. Our tool does not log into or access Twitter/X directly. Instead, it processes content that is visible to anyone browsing the open web, ensuring compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
We gather email addresses by identifying contact information that is publicly accessible on Twitter/X profiles or through websites linked in their bios. We never bypass any access restrictions or attempt to retrieve private data.
Once collected, these email addresses are compiled and organized into a file that is delivered securely to our customers. This data provides a valuable resource for businesses seeking to reach potential clients through targeted email outreach, while ensuring that all collected information remains within the boundaries of publicly accessible data.
We are committed to responsible data practices and to operating within applicable legal frameworks governing publicly accessible web data.
TweetScraper is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Twitter/X or X Corp. All Twitter/X-related trademarks are the property of X Corp.
TweetScraper processes information that is publicly accessible on the open internet. The platform is designed to identify and organize publicly available business and contact information associated with public-facing Twitter/X profiles and websites linked from those profiles.
We do not access private accounts, protected content, or any information requiring authentication. Our systems do not use login credentials, authenticated sessions, or circumvent access controls in connection with publicly accessible data.
TweetScraper also relies in part on third-party infrastructure and data providers that represent their services operate using publicly accessible web data. We expect all vendors and providers to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
The information processed by TweetScraper is limited to content that is publicly accessible on the internet and visible without requiring access to private or restricted areas of social media platforms.
Our data processing practices are designed to comply with key legal frameworks, including the DMCA and the CFAA:
Our operations align with recent case law in the United States that supports the lawful use of public web data:
The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court ruled that scraping publicly available data does not violate the CFAA.
A federal judge dismissed most of X's claims against Bright Data over scraping publicly accessible Twitter/X data. The court emphasized that publicly available data on the internet is not automatically "owned" by the platform hosting it, and warned that allowing platforms to fully lock down public web data could create "information monopolies." The ruling further held that X could not use contract claims to control redistribution of public user content — the claims were preempted by copyright law. This case is directly relevant to TweetScraper as it involves Twitter/X data specifically.
A U.S. court dismissed claims by Meta that public data scraping from Instagram and Facebook was unlawful, reinforcing that accessing public-facing information is not inherently illegal.
We do not store copyrighted content or profile images, do not impersonate users, and do not interfere with any platform's normal operations. All data is collected outside of any login-required context and is limited strictly to information that is publicly accessible on the open internet.
