For some reason, GetOldTweets has stopped returning older tweets. It only returns a few recent tweets (for any handle). Not sure if one gets such an issue for overusing this API.

Get old tweets doesn't use the Twitter API (if that is what you mean by API). However, You may have been blocked by Twitter for overusing the script. Better use a VPN tool and change locations every now and then.

p.s I created a tool inspired by Henrique's script that integrates all the options provided by Twitter's advanced search. It has a GUI as well. It is available at https://github.com/yiannakasgeorge/pythonGUI-twitter-advanced-search
