Add an option of adding twitter feeds via search

[drequivalent]

As it now stands, this bot requires Twitter API application keys

Getting them is too much hoops to jump through. You need an account itself and also the phone number is required.

This project needs no Twitter account, it gust needs a username.

From what I understand, it does it via twitter's search.
It would be nice to add this feature here, while also saving multiple images capability.

I think it would probably be better to make a separate bot for scraping twitter timelines. There is a Perl Mastodon client library, so it's easier to take twitrssme and update it to post stuff on Mastodon instead.

1. I hate Perl
2. How would it functionally be different from what we have here?

The code for scraping the content from HTML looks pretty dense in the perl version, and it wouldn't be reliable as it would break any time Twitter changed their layout. So, I wouldn't want to maintain that myself, but feel free to fork the bot if you'd be interested in adding that in. ;)
