Getting 429 - Too many requests when trying to launch the project

[tymakat]

Prerequisites: launch the project for the first time with npm start
Remarks: Using free X API plan (it might be related)

When I launch the project I get the following issue:

Starting process to generate draft...
Fetching sources...
Scraping 21 sources...
Error: Failed to fetch tweets for OpenAIDevs: Too Many Requests
    at C:\Users\tymak\Desktop\Hustle apps\trendFinder\src\services\scrapeSources.ts:69:19
    at Generator.next (<anonymous>)
    at fulfilled (C:\Users\tymak\Desktop\Hustle apps\trendFinder\src\services\scrapeSources.ts:5:58)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)

And even though the requirement of X API token is stated as optional, when I revert to default value of

X_API_BEARER_TOKEN=your_twitter_api_bearer_token_here

It still tries to fetch the tweets and produces 401 Unauthorized error

You should set X_API_BEARER_TOKEN to blank value, otherwise the app is trying to use "your_twitter_api_bearer_token_here" as your API token and it's rejected by Twitter.

But anyway you won't be able to fetch anything with the free X API plan, it only allows a limited number of posts per month, a paid plan in required to fetch tweets:
