Tweezers
Lightweight Python library for scraping data via the Twitter search API.
from tweezers import Tweezers

Create an instance of Tweezers with API credentials
# Loading Twitter auth credentials from a local JSON file. Get yours here:
# https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps/
import json
import os

fp = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "credentials.json")
with open(fp) as f:
credentials = json.load(f)

t = Tweezers(
api_key=credentials["api_key"],
api_secret_key=credentials["api_secret_key"],
access_token=credentials["access_token"],
access_token_secret=credentials["access_token_secret"]
)

Perform a search
Searching returns an instance of a class TweezerSearch, which contains various data attributes returned by the Twitter API:
s = t.search(search_term="bitcoin", total=1000, result_type="recent")
# All the tweet results are returned in a Pandas DataFrame:
s.results_df.head()
