Twitter-API-v2-sample-code VS twitter-scraper

They have sample code in javascript, python, and ruby for making a tweet. I tried javascript and executing through nodejs, but I kept getting errors on the very first line that I don't understand how to solve . It's about a package that needs to be installed but I installed it already (require ('got') is where the error occurs). Here's the code if it helps: https://github.com/twitterdev/Twitter-API-v2-sample-code/blob/main/Manage-Tweets/create_tweet.js

So today maybe it is not the best option. You can venture into twitter api.

Where have you read that? It does not at all correspond with what I know from their access tiers page and from their official account, which is that free users only get write-only access to Twitter, with a cap of 1500 tweets per month. That's much less than 100 tweets per minutes, and definitely not 100 requests which can (well, could, before) be many other things that posting a tweet, and which made the API useful for obtaining information from Twitter.

Diving through the Dev docs (https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/getting-started/about-twitter-api)

Thx for the info. I heard Twitter was charging for API access now. Looks like there might be free, basic access but according to this, it's limited: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/getting-started/about-twitter-api

This is Wrong. This is about the old v1.1 API not the new v2 API https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/getting-st...

You can use the official Twitter API. You get access to a generous amount of data in the free tier.

tweepy.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden 453 - You currently have Essential access which includes access to Twitter API v2 endpoints only. If you need access to this endpoint, you’ll need to apply for Elevated access via the Developer Portal. You can learn more here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/getting-started/about-twitter-api#v2-access-leve

It still seems unreasonable that that’s the price if you want access to longer time frames. Obviously they don’t have to release an api in the first place. But with them now not giving free access to even the regular api, free tools like this will become much better and way more popular.

I saw a lot of different projects which provide a wrapper for the twitter API in different programming languages. But the API has some limitations and you need access. Building a Web Scraper for twitter could take a bit of time though. Actually i found some projects on github that don't require API authentication like: https://github.com/bisguzar/twitter-scraper I haven't used it but it looks promising.

I was going through this project that scrapes twitter however it is now not working properly as Twitter has changed its front-end code structure and even the way how tweets fetch from the backend. Now, sending an HTTP request and parsing that HTML source code to get the tweet's data does not work and I needed even more data than what twitter's API can offer. So, I created this project to run with a headless web browser and get the tweet's data.

Indeed. My second milestone involves using Brython and the Twitter API. My mentor recomended trying to combine both by integrating twitter-scraper library in Brython. Unfortunately, everything I have tried so far hasn't worked.
