I keep getting a 404 Error -- stay with me #35

I updated rtweet and RStudio after my Twitter API was being picky (meaning, taking forever to load). Tweetbotornot worked for one round, but then I started receiving 404 Errors.

I checked a sample of the usernames and I got the 404 error — which is weird because when I manually looked up those usernames, they all existed. At first, I thought it was an API error. But when I tried it with a different API, it still didn't work. And that API token also worked with typical rtweet functions.

So now I can't help but wonder if it's some sort of package error. I am a bit new to scraping Twitter so perhaps this makes zero sense, but I'm slightly desperate for answers. Given the rtweet update, I thought there was a chance this could make sense.

The package hans't been updated in 2 years. After rtweet update, this package needs some serious update not only connect to rtweet, but to the new format of Twitter API data. I forked the project to try and do this update to get it working with the new API format.
