Twitter’s new API pricing
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.

How do I extract data from Twitter? Both usernames and tweets in excess of 3200 from individual users
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.

Scrape twitter profiles and hashtags
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.

First-week check-in for PSF, GSoC 2021
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.

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.
