5 days ago Hi @Neil674 this is because snscrape searches the Twitter data without any authentication, i.e., it searches for Twitter data without using your email, password, or authentication key. but now, Twitter has restricted searching data without logging in to the Twitter website, i.e., if you log out of your Twitter account on the Twitter website, you will not have a search functionality there. So, snscrape cannot extract the tweets data from the Twitter website as of now.
The Twitter functionality might change in future, or the API might improve, but as of now, scscrape is not working.
I am facing an error for using snscrape for twitter. I tried it on a few different networks with different devices with different Google accounts every time I am getting the same error. Could it be something with the python or snscraper version?
