Live Monitoring X Posts on Nitter

[phantomavasion]

Hi @zedeus,

for a University project we're monitoring Elon Musk's X Account on Nitter and send out notifications as soon as he's posted sth.
Non-parallel scraping works perfectly, however parallel threading always gives us errors. What are the rate limits on nitter.net/ and nitter.poast.org or X respectively which we cannot exceed?
Would hosting Nitter on our own computers allow us to overcome this limit? Currently, it takes about 3 seconds for every request we make.

Thanks in advance!

For scraping? 0, just don't do it. We try out best to prevent this. Host your own.

Yes, you just need enough accounts. Nitter is of course not required for this, there are many libraries and other services available.
