mixed your code with the following code together with another user dor@tehexploa at blackhatworld.com – im relatively new to the world of scraping but your blog has helped immensly, probably not the neatest of code but works for now….
obviously this script is just for educational purposes, as actually emailing any emails gathered would be considered spam and in some places illegal we all know spam is bad so dont do it as you could be punished by big hefty fines!
[code]
<?php
//set # of pages (5) to scrape
for($i=1;$i
[/code]

Didn’t know about &rpp=100. Thanx!

For those who haven’t played with advanced search on twitter, add &rpp=50 to the end of the search string (rpp = results per page)
And yes, it can be extended to 1000, 10000, etc
Shhhhhh

Thanks for bringing out this issue. This is really a serious issue now.

I agree its something people worry about, it is always best to send that kind of information via DM.
That includes, postal address, phone numbers….

This is a great tool for spammers to get emails. Even though its illegal many spammers still email emails they acquire by scraping websites.
