Access permission issue

[aihoom]

Thank you for developing the Twitter bot, which allows me to quickly get started with such a great tool without any programming background. However, it seems that some problems have occurred during my use:

warning: `tweet_bot` (bin "tweet_bot") generated 3 warnings

I searched and it seems to be because the free Twitter API V2 I'm using doesn't have this permission. Can I use API V1 instead?

Hi @aihoom. Twitter APIv2 is not supported by this bot it still runs on APIv1. Since Twitter has made their APIs paid I am not really getting interest to update this to APIv2

I took a look at the Twitter API2 documentation, and it seems that free developer accounts require authorization to fetch data from specific users. However, I still appreciate you for developing such a useful application

There is an Oauth file and secret which can be generated on twitter with a free account. This should let tweets be pulled with a free account but this authentication is not included in the .env file. Can the code be modified to accomplish this?
