Twint is an advanced Twitter scraping tool written in Python that allows for scraping Tweets from Twitter profiles **without** using Twitter's API.
Twint utilizes Twitter's search operators to let you scrape Tweets from specific users, scrape Tweets relating to certain topics, hashtags & trends, or sort out *sensitive* information from Tweets like e-mail and phone numbers. I find this very useful, and you can get really creative with it too.
