how can i bypasd 403 forbidden?
There is a good chance that the website is using Cloudflare to block web scrapers, which will require you to use a fortified headless browser to solve the JS challenges. Your options include the Puppeteer stealth plugin and Selenium undetected-chromedriver.

New headless Chrome has been released and has a near-perfect browser fingerprint
There are even Puppeteer plugins that will do it for you. [^1]
The best detection I've come across so far (i.e. before this release) has just required I run headless Chrome in headed mode. Granted, I don't do a ton of scraping -- mostly just pulling data out of websites so that I can play with it in aggregate using more civilized tools.

Proposed solution to twitter's ridiculous API pricing

- Using selenium with proxy still hit bot detection

Getting detected by Cloudflare for no apparent reason.
As for solutions, you are on point. Running a headless browser or using a web scraping API that does that for you (I work at one: https://scrapfly.io hi) is the easiest way to do it. Note that because of javascript fingerprinting you still need to fortify your headless browsers with various scripts like puppeteer-stealth.

Best offline&local database to use with electron?
Not quite a database, but I use electron-store for persistent storage. It has a super simple API, and it stores data in a config.json file that’s mostly hidden from the user unless they know where to look.

Something like mongoose in electron?
The electron-store package works well with simple data.

What is the proper way to permanently store data in Electron in 2023?
I've seen electron-store, but it seems to be a volatile store. Each time I open the app, it seems I must create a new Store(). The doc explains clearly how to perform crud operation in a new store, but not how to retrieve existing data when re-opening the app 10 days later. If the lib can actually do it, how to do so?

Question about data persistence within electron app
With Electron, you have disk access via Node.js (fs.writeFile, etc), so you can save user preferences to the user's hard drive. See https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-store for a library that makes it super easy and provides you with some nice conventions for working with the file system from an Electron app.
