Will this affect snscrape? I’m new to scraping so not sure if this affects scrapers.

(not maintainer, just a user) I expect it will. Some scraping processes use libraries like selenium to pass account credentials through a login interface, but not sure how to integrate this best with snscrape.

Makes sense. Meanwhile my current workflow for scraping Twitter isn’t working anymore.

Chances are it eventually will if they don't reverse course. But in any case, speculation isn't useful, and my crystal ball broke last week. For now, snscrape's Twitter scrapers still work. Use them while you can.
