Cannot get tweets

[gridikono]

Describe the bug

I am trying to extract tweets for a given profile, but I got the error below: here is my code:

def scrape_tweets(self, username):
        for tweet in sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper(f'from:{username}').get_items():
            dal = DAL()
            dal.insert_tweet(tweet=tweet)
            self.scrape_replies(tweet=tweet)

It worked until at the mid of April 2023. Below is my error that I got:

Error retrieving https://api.twitter.com/1.1/guest/activate.json: non-200 response (401)
    return self._request('POST', *args, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Users\Gridi\Desktop\nlp\osfa2022\Source code\ASSA.Scraper.Twitter\snscrape\base.py", line 247, in _request
    raise ScraperException(msg)
snscrape.base.ScraperException: 4 requests to https://api.twitter.com/1.1/guest/activate.json failed, giving up.

I know that twitter has applied restriction in its public APIs, but there is any fix for it ?

How to reproduce

def scrape_tweets(self, username):
        for tweet in sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper(f'from:{username}').get_items():
            dal = DAL()
            dal.insert_tweet(tweet=tweet)
            self.scrape_replies(tweet=tweet)
