Twitter recently put restrictions on the guest sessions, meaning you can't fetch data without log Ins anymore. If you try to open twitter without login, they will redirect you to the login. So you gonna have to use a logged in (authenticated) session before you start using TweeterPy. Check Login feature to use a logged in session. Also, make sure you are using the actual proxies OR you can comment the proxy code if you don't want to use any proxies.

Example Code:

from tweeterpy import TweeterPy

twitter = TweeterPy()
twitter.login("username/email","password")
twitter.save_session() # Save session if you don't want to login everytime you use the tool again.
data = twitter.search(search_query="hello world",total=50)

If you saved a session. Next time you use the tool again, you don't have to use twitter.login() method again. You can load saved session with twitter.load_session() Check example below

from tweeterpy import TweeterPy

twitter = TweeterPy()
twitter.load_session()
data = twitter.search(search_query="hello world",total=50)

twitter = TweeterPy()
twitter.login("XXXX", "XXXX")
twitter.save_session()  # Save session if you don't want to login everytime you use the tool again.
data = twitter.search(search_query="hello world", total=50)
print(data)

That's weird. Its working just fine on my end. Have you tried using it without the proxy as I showed above? If it works without the proxy then its your proxy. Also let me know what type of proxies are you using( datacenter, residentails)? If it still doesn't work, let me know , I will look into it.

Hey, thanks @codilau @freedom-wy for drawing my attention to this bug. After testing it on a different machine, I realized it had some issues parsing the web response. Adding Brotli library to the package as a requirement fixed the bug.
