Can't Make Calls with REST ID? "Not Authorized to access requested resource"? Can only retrieve pin tweet from a timeline?

[TheUltimateAbsol]

First time using this API. I'm trying to follow the examples in the guide. Using version 2.4.2. I am using an authenticated API Key from my user login.

I made a call with a username to the details endpoint (So I could find the REST ID)

rettiwt.user.details('alkalinedd')
.then(res => {
    console.log(res);
})
.catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
});

Successfully got the response

User {
  id: '1140826190091116544',
  userName: 'alkalinedd',
  fullName: 'ALKALINEDD',
  createdAt: 'Tue Jun 18 03:38:54 +0000 2019',
  description: '二次創作イラストを描くメイド(主にインテイ) 🌞\n' +
    '目的:毎週1枚投稿 🌟\n' +
    'アニメ私塾で勉強なう✍️\n' +
    '\n' +

  location: '',

  profileBanner: undefined,
  profileImage: 'https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1678235052738506753/Zh7o018s_normal.jpg'
}

Alright, so I try plugging in the REST id into the same request:

rettiwt.user.details('1140826190091116544')
.then(res => {
    console.log(res);
})
.catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
});

I get the response

When I try to get replies, same thing:

rettiwt.user.replies('1140826190091116544')
.then(res => {
    console.log(res);
})
.catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
});

When I try getting a timeline, I get only a pinned reply:

rettiwt.user.timeline('1140826190091116544', 20)
.then(res => {
    console.log(res);
})
.catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
});

CursoredData {
  list: [
    Tweet {
      id: '1744329062028390752',
      createdAt: 'Mon Jan 08 12:03:51 +0000 2024',
      tweetBy: [User],
      entities: [TweetEntities],
      media: [Array],
      quoted: undefined,

      replyCount: 1,
      retweetCount: 44,
      likeCount: 182,
      viewCount: 2356,
      bookmarkCount: 4
    }
  ],
  next: Cursor { value: '' }
}

What's going on? Am I using this correctly? Or has there been a wave of breaking changes?

1. Did you pass in the API_KEY while instantiating a Rettiwt instance like this: const rettiwt = new Rettiwt({ apiKey: API_KEY })?
2. If yes, did you try logging in into Twitter Web app using the same Twitter account which was used to generate API_KEY?

[TheUltimateAbsol]

Thanks. turned out that, since I was resuming work on an old project, I didn't notice that the syntax for passing in the API key changed from Rettiwt(API_KEY) to Rettiwt({{ apiKey: API_KEY }).

Sorry for the panic
