its possible to change Twitter API (tweepy) to nitter? #78

I have seen that ntscraper (https://github.com/bocchilorenzo/ntscraper/blob/main/ntscraper/nitter.py) is able to collect the tweets of certain accounts... is it possible to make some modification to the bot, so that instead of using the twitter API, it uses this library to fetch the tweets...?

could someone guide me ?

It's been a while since I wrote this but have a look here: https://github.com/franciscod/telegram-twitter-forwarder-bot/blob/master/job.py

The idea is to remove all Tweepy stuff and replace it wiht the module that you suggest.

Feel free to ask more specific questions about this. A PR that makes this project more alive would be appreciated :)
