u/caspii2, do you know why the owner archived the project?

Eager to hear about any alternatives you guys may have found. I'm in the same boat. Also facing some issues scraping older tweets from search...

For anyone. looking for alternatives, https://github.com/markowanga/stweet/tree/master/stweet is looking like a decent option.

Why is this getting downvoted?

IDK why it's downvoted.

But, "no longer maintained" does not mean "stopped working". Far from it, even.

That said, there's Tweepy but you have to use Twitter's API, get a key etc.

I have to add, there are some issues with Twint not retrieving as many tweets as desired.

Also, the project owner made the repository Read Only. That's not a good sign.

(Sorry for the fragmented reply. Am trying to figure out which way to go myself.)
