For gathering twitter links (if stated in the user's GitHub profile), you can use the following API :
The returned JSON response will have a key named : import urllib.request
import json
with urllib.request.urlopen("https://api.github.com/users/KaranNegi20feb") as resp:
if resp.status == 200:
data = json.loads(resp.read().decode('utf-8'))
url = r"https://x.com/" + data["twitter_username"] # url == https://x.com/KaranNegi20feb
Hope this helps ✌️ |

you can use the following API :
https://api.github.com/users/{user}
The returned JSON response will have a key named : twitter_username that
you can read for that specific {user}. And then prepend https://x.com/ to
it. For example:
import urllib.requestimport json
with urllib.request.urlopen("https://api.github.com/users/KaranNegi20feb") as resp:
if resp.status == 200:
data = json.loads(resp.read().decode('utf-8'))
url = r"https://x.com/" + data["twitter_username"] # url == https://x.com/KaranNegi20feb
NOTE 1: This approach is not foolproof (can result in low recall, as some
Twitter (or X) handles will be missed as the API sometimes puts it under
different key names).
NOTE 2: For hyperlinks of other social media accounts, I guess you can
build a web-scraper <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping> using
BeautifulSoup <https://pypi.org/project/beautifulsoup4/> and requests
<https://pypi.org/project/requests/>. This is quite a bit tedious and
hacky, so I would wait on that end for others to pitch in with better
alternatives.
Hope this helps ✌️
