## Briefing
- Scrapfly: Scrapfly published a comparison of four X scraper repositories that still work in 2026, evaluating them on coverage, account requirements, maintenance, and infrastructure burden.

## Why it matters

The analysis highlights the trade-offs between ease of use and resilience, and explains why older projects died, which helps practitioners choose a tool that won't break next week.
