I am planning to create an academic paper and I need to scrape data from Twitter. However, I am unsure of the authenticity of the data gathered through snscrape and can’t afford to pay Twitter API. Is snscrape a valid data-gathering method? What other options can I have?
I tried snscrape but I am unsure of its authenticity. I also tried tweepy but it need authenthication key but I can’t afford it.

I already used SnScrape to extract tweets for a paper. It was a good scrapper, the only downside was the inability to extract native retweets. But SnScrappe is not working because of Twitter blocks. Currently is not possible to search tweets without a login. As one can see here: https://github.com/JustAnotherArchivist/snscrape/issues/996
were you able to extract tweets as mentioned above? I need to extract tweets for an academic research project and the Twitter website seems to have disconnect academic access application page. Can you please suggest me any other method through which I can extract tweets? thank you xx
