I ran this by my tech genius friend (who knows APIs and this kinda stuff really well), so I'm MOSTLY paraphrasing, but you'll hopefully get the gist.
He basically wanted to know the use case for the Twitter API in context with Email Otter, so we brainstormed some ideas since you weren't really clear on why you wanted to scrape this data.
If you're offering this as a service for Email Otter users to scrape tweets, it's not worth it.
If you're using the API to generate leads for Email Otter, it's not worth it. There's already a scraper that exists that you can pay $100(ish) where you can scrape tens of thousands of pieces of data in a targeted niche.
[He's currently looking up the name of this service, so I'll edit this comment when he finds it.]
If you're using the API to basically replace Revue (Twitter's old newsletter service), if you're offering as a paid service, if you scale it up, it's MAYBE worth it. (But you're going to be Twitter's bitch and it'll be an inferior project lol.)
Basically, he says it's not worth it ESPECIALLY at that higher price point.
it creates a newsletter card from the tweet, just by pasting the tweet url
I think the scraper sounds good, but it'll probably stop working at some point too like my previous version. I think just do instagram and tiktok social cards!
