Fetching error: Instance has been rate limited.Use another instance or try again later. #56

Hi,

I'm attempting to scrape multiple tweets to a user with me 'term' mode, and consistently encountering the same message after retrieving some tweets.

Fetching error: Instance has been rate limited.Use another instance or try again later.

The main issue is that the Nitter scraper function doesn't seamlessly switch to another instance; instead, it stops entirely.

Hi, I'm sorry but the nitter project has been declared as dead by its creator and right now most instances are having issues and will probably start to slowly shut down.

There will be alternative to scrape with another front-end method?

It depends if a new workaround is found. As far as i know, all the current methods rely on guest accounts, but now that those are gone they all broke.
