Bypassing Cloudflare and ModSec checks
CloudFlare is really good at blocking bots. Try a residential proxy (or host it at home) and change the User Agent Header. But it’s really hard. There are some projects e.g. https://github.com/Anorov/cloudflare-scrape but as fare as I know there are all outdated.

The State of Web Scraping 2022: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
I'm scraping about 30 sites for work at the moment, but have a few that are using Cloudflare which has been a b*tch to deal with. Tried numerous libraries and different proxy providers, but reliability is patchy. Previous fixes like https://github.com/Anorov/cloudflare-scrape don't seem to work anymore after Cloudflare updates, so I've switched to using a pretty optimised headless browser with good proxies instead.

[HELP][NH-API] Getting Cloudflare CAPTCHAs when making requests
I've attempted to use cfscrape with the URL and headers of a private_api GET request like accounts_for_currency; however, I get 403 forbidden errors despite that. Example below:

Twitter will be purging accounts with no activity for several years soon. We need to archive as many as we can. Any ideas on Methods
twint is a project that can scrape twitter data via the webpages rather than the twitter API, which means that it can get more than the last 3200 tweets of an account. Unfortunately it seems that the repo was archived and is no longer in development, so I'm not sure if it even still works. It's also a bit heavy on dependencies and is written in Python, neither of which make it easier to install and use.

New OSINT tool
The tool doesn't work anymore since Twitter changed its APIs, but a good example is twint. Most people in OSINT are not highly technical and don't know their way around a CLI. On the other hand, a CLI tool is one of the quickest, lowest (dev) cost ways to release a tool to the public, and many developers who build tools for the OSINT community do so for free (open source).

What’s currently the best method to archive a twitter account?
You can try twint which is extensive and should be able to do that. Another is via this twitter downloader but might require multiple runs depending on what you want to archive.

Gbf.life will be gone at the end of April
They do have examples that don't specify a username such as number 3 on this page or this one on the main page: "twint -g="48.880048,2.385939,1km" -o file.csv --csv - Scrape Tweets from a radius of 1km around a place in Paris and export them to a csv file."

Twitter’s $42,000-per-Month API Prices Out Nearly Everyone | Tiers will start at $500,000 a year for access to 0.3 percent of the company’s tweets. Researchers say that’s too much for too little data
This will motivate researchers to web scrape to circumvent these restrictions. Twint can scrape tweets and it supports proxies. It can also be multi threaded. A huge hassle and it's prone to breaking when the site changes.
