Checking.

It seems like the twitter read API is no longer free and they are charging $100 monthly to use the read API. Too bad for us. I am checking other ways to access the tweets without API if possible. 😒

Only posting few tweets available under free.

The basic costs $100 also with limits.

For some reason twitter is providing free access to tweet API and it is working now. I am sure they will disable it later.

I along with @Kalli_navya are working on it to use python scrappers available online to scrap data during Indic Wikimedia hackathon 2023. Let's see. 🤞

Currently using API from Rapid API with free limits. May subscribe to the api as they are less costly than native api. Now the tool works!
