Scrape Twitter handles by hashtag and then find number of followers?

3 replies
Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a tool or set of tools that can scrape Twitter handles that tweet using a specific hashtag and then after scraping, look up the number of followers each handle has?

I don't need the follower lists or anything, basically I just want to see who's mentioning specific hashtags and then see how big their following is.

Thanks in advance!

    Of course you could scrape everything, but why not use the API? dev.twitter.com

    There are two methods to accomplish data scraping from Twitter:
    1-- Develop a web application using the Twitter API
    2--Use a mashup of tools mixed with Excel or Google Docs.
