The unofficial Twitter API is used when a user is not logged in. Limited data can be fetched using this way.

• last 3200 tweets per user
• basic user information
• anonymous without Twitter sign up
• no rate limitation - in theory

• no following/followers
• limited replies to threads
• cumbersome to work with

There are some libraries that make accessing the unofficial API easier:

• Twint (abandoned)
• Stweet
