Hello! I’m working on my thesis using Orange 3.30 Data Mining software. I applied for essential access, inputted my key and secret key, and watched tutorial videos from Orange about their Twitter widget. They used the example of “#machinelearning” which retrieved data, but when I do the same, I get the 403 Error saying that I only have access to v2 endpoints. Shouldn’t I be able to retrieve 500,000 tweets per month? I tried regenerating my keys and even using different keywords, but I still get the same error. I also applied for academic research access but got rejected so I’m not sure what else I can do? Any advice would help. Thanks!
Yes, but this is a v2 API Limit, and i think Orange only supports v1.1 (i could be wrong though, that’s worth double checking). Essential Access is v2 only, so you don’t have access to v1.1, to get that you need “Elevated” Getting Started with the Twitter API | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform
If all else fails, give twarc a try - even without Academic Access it will work with the v2 API, and you can convert the json into a CSV and import that into Orange for analysis:
I’m not familiar with Orange - is it open source? You would have to ask the creator of the software to upgrade to support version 2 of the API.
