Tweep is an advanced Twitter scraping tool written in python that allows for scraping Tweets and pictures from Twitter profiles **without** using Twitter's API.
## Requirements
- BeautifulSoup4 `pip install beautifulsoup4`
## Usage
- `-u` The user's Tweets you want to scrape.
- `-s` Search for Tweets containing this word or phrase.
- `--year` Filter tweets before the specified year.
- `--pics` Download all the pictures from Tweets.
- `--fruit` Display Tweets with "low-hanging-fruit"
## Examples and Combos.
These are just a few examples to help you understand how everything works. You can mix and match each feature to your liking.

This will scrape all the Tweets from that user's timeline.
