Hi @avisekksarma and thank you so much for your kind words!
Last but not least, please remember to cite all the contributors based on:

To add to this, Nitter search stopped working recently because of an internal change at Twitter. As far as I'm aware, it's not clear why that happened and the issue was reversed some days later. Twitter are doing everything they can to fight the public scraping of their data, so I wouldn't rely on this tool to work indefinitely. Since this project has an extra dependency beyond Twitter, it means issues may be outside the control of the contributors on this project and rely on the Nitter developers to fix. There was a PR on the Nitter project (zedeus/nitter#830) that fixed those issues by forcing Nitter to send authenticated headers. This effectively makes it look like a logged in user is performing a search. Maybe this would be of interest to you? As this is less likely to break. But bear in mind that any Twitter user you use to login with may end up being banned for scraping. I know they're planning their own REST API (zedeus/nitter#192), but there's no clear sign on when that will be available. Sorry there's no better answer to give, Musk's takeover of Twitter has clearly screwed over research projects. |
Hello to the developers of this project. Words fail to convey the depth of my gratitude for the radiant joy that spread across my face when this tool scraped the tweets from twitter after trying out so many other tools/projects.
Now, I have following questions:
Once Again.Thank you
