Can't run the bot #159

Open BOT-TI opened 2 years ago

BOT-TI commented 2 years ago

When I try to run the bot it says {'errors': [{'message': 'You currently have Essential access which includes access to Twitter API v2 endpoints only. If you need access to this endpoint, you’ll need to apply for Elevated access via the Developer Portal. You can learn more here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/getting-started/about-twitter-api#v2-access-leve', 'code': 453}]}

This is a problem with your API access, not the bot, you need elevated access.

As L442Y mentioned, this is due to your Twitter account API access. Make sure to get elevate access for the bot, as described in the url from the notification..

After that change the permissions as needed for your app, and generate new token. The old tokens will not be updated to have the new permissions.
