Twitter v1 API shutdown

[david-perez]

I've been using this project reliably over the past two years to periodically download my liked tweets, but unfortunately since 19th July I get:

[2023-07-19 21:00:04.937536]   File "/home/pi/code/liked-tweets/lib/python3.7/site-packages/twitter_to_sqlite/utils.py", line 202, in fetch_timeline
[2023-07-19 21:00:04.937606]     raise Exception(str(tweets["errors"]))
[2023-07-19 21:00:04.937678] Exception: [{'message': 'You currently have access to a subset of Twitter API v2 endpoints and limited v1.1 endpoints (e.g. media post, oauth) only. If you need access to this endpoint, you may need a different access level. You can learn more here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/product', 'code': 453}]

It appears like Twitter has now shut down their v1 endpoints, which is rather gracious of them, considering they announced they'd be deprecated on 29th April.

Unfortunately retrieving likes using the v2 API is not part of their free plan. In fact, with the free plan one can only post and delete tweets and retrieve information about oneself.

So I'm afraid this is the end of this very nice project. It was very useful, thank you!
