Is there a way to use Search Tweets: Full Archive / Sandbox with node.js? – Twitter API

I need to accumulate Tweets from a specific period of time based on a specific hashtag. Is there a library that supports the Search Tweets: Full Archive / Sandbox API? I tried Twit and twitter-node-client (which was suggested on the Twitter dev page) but didn’t manage to go past the limit of one week old Tweets. Even though there is a limit of 100 tweets/request it should be able to get the Tweets from, for example, the 1st September 2019, or am i understanding something wrong?

    For everybody that comes across the same problem:

    I managed to get the wanted Tweets by choosing Postman, it is probably the easiest way and gives the most readable results due to the JSON format. Most importantly: it didn't work with the usual four OAuth keys, instead it is needed to generate a Bearer Token to use the full archive sandbox endpoint.

    I assume it would work with the twitter-node-client library as well because of the existing getCustomApiCall() method, but not sure how easily would the Bearer Token setup go.

    I’m not sure if those packages accommodate searching in those date ranges, but regardless it looks like you’d need Premium or higher API access to search outside 7 days:
