*Tweepy requires expensive API access ($100-5000/month)

Why Other Tools Don't Work¶

Tweepy¶

Problem: Twitter API v2 requires paid access - Basic tier: $100/month (limited) - Pro tier: $5000/month (full access) - Most endpoints deprecated or removed

# ❌ This no longer works without paid API
import tweepy
api.search(q="to:username")  # DEPRECATED

Snscrape¶

Problem: Completely broken since X changes - Last working: 2023 - No longer maintained - All scrapers fail

# ❌ This is broken
import snscrape.modules.twitter as sntwitter
# ERROR: snscrape.base.ScraperException

Twint¶

Problem: Project abandoned - Last commit: 2022 - Doesn't work with current X - No Python 3.10+ support

# ❌ This project is dead
import twint
# ModuleNotFoundError or immediate errors

Nitter Instances¶

Problem: Unstable and limited - Instances frequently go down - No action support (can't like, follow) - Rate limited heavily

Xeepy Advantages¶

1. Browser Automation = No API Needed¶

from xeepy import Xeepy

# ✅ Works without API keys
async with Xeepy() as x:
    replies = await x.scrape.replies(tweet_url)

2. Full Feature Set¶

# ✅ Everything works
await x.scrape.replies(url)
await x.scrape.followers("user")
await x.unfollow.non_followers()
await x.engage.auto_like(keywords=["python"])
await x.monitor.unfollowers()

3. AI-Powered¶

# ✅ Built-in AI support
from xeepy.ai import ContentGenerator

ai = ContentGenerator(provider="openai")
reply = await ai.generate_reply(tweet_text)

4. Modern Python¶

# ✅ Async/await native
# ✅ Type hints throughout
# ✅ Pydantic models
# ✅ Python 3.10+

5. Production Ready¶

Rate limiting built-in
Session management
Error handling
Export to CSV/JSON/Excel
Notification webhooks

Cost Comparison¶

Solution	Monthly Cost	Features
Xeepy	$0	All features
Twitter API Basic	$100	Limited endpoints
Twitter API Pro	$5000	Full access
Enterprise	Custom ($)	Full access

Migration Guide¶

From Tweepy¶

# OLD (Tweepy)
import tweepy

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(key, secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
tweets = api.search_tweets(q="python")

# NEW (Xeepy)
from xeepy import Xeepy

async with Xeepy() as x:
    tweets = await x.scrape.search("python")

From Snscrape¶

# OLD (snscrape - broken)
import snscrape.modules.twitter as sntwitter
tweets = sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper("python").get_items()

# NEW (Xeepy)
from xeepy import Xeepy

async with Xeepy() as x:
    tweets = await x.scrape.search("python")

Conclusion¶

Xeepy is the only Python toolkit that: - ✅ Actually works in 2024 - ✅ Requires no API keys - ✅ Has full feature support - ✅ Includes AI integration - ✅ Is actively maintained

Stop fighting with broken tools. Use Xeepy.
