Fix get user ID from user screen name due to API shutdown #80

Closed mikelei8291 closed 1 year ago

The original API (https://cdn.syndication.twimg.com/widgets/followbutton/info.json) was shutdown by Twitter recently, causing the function user_id() not being able to retrieve the user ID by the user's screen name, and ultimately making the program to crash.

This PR replaces the old API with a new one to make this program continue to work. It was tested locally and everything seemed working fine.

This should also fix #79.

@Ryu1845 Could you also make a release on PyPI? Since this is a fatal issue and there are people who only install from PyPI.

Oh yes that's true, will do.
