Twitter-api – Error accessing Twitter API endpoint: Limited access to v1.1 and v2 endpoints

I’m trying to retrieve tweets containing a specific hashtag using the twit library in JavaScript. However, I’m encountering an error related to limited access to certain Twitter API endpoints. The error message I’m receiving is:
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

Here’s the code I’m using:

const Twit = require('twit');

const XLSX = require('xlsx');

// Twitter API credentials (replace with your own)

const T = new Twit({

  consumer_key: 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY',

  consumer_secret: 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET',

  access_token: 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',

  access_token_secret: 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET'

});

// Search parameters

const hashtag = '#Example';

const count = 100; // Number of tweets to retrieve

// Search tweets containing the hashtag

T.get('search/tweets', { q: hashtag, count }, (err, data) => {

  if (err) {

    console.error('Error:', err);

    return;

  }

  

  const tweetLinks = data.statuses.map(tweet => `https://twitter.com/${tweet.user.screen_name}/status/${tweet.id_str}`);

  

  // Create a new worksheet

  const ws = XLSX.utils.aoa_to_sheet([tweetLinks]);

  const wb = XLSX.utils.book_new();

  XLSX.utils.book_append_sheet(wb, ws, 'Tweet Links');

  

  // Save the Excel file

  XLSX.writeFile(wb, 'tweetLinks.xlsx');

  

  console.log('Excel file generated with tweet links.');

});

I believe the error is related to the endpoint I’m trying to access. How can I resolve this issue and gain access to the necessary Twitter API endpoint to retrieve the tweets I need? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Additional Information:

I’m using the twit library in Node.js to interact with the Twitter API.

I have checked my Twitter API credentials, and they seem to be correct.

I’m specifically trying to retrieve tweets with a certain hashtag: #Example.
