Unknown result type 'TweetTombstone' while using the TwitterUserProfileScraper

[ronnypollak]

Hello!

I am using the TwitterUserProfileScraper to fetch the tweets and retweets of certain users. It works fine until I encounter the error "Unknown result type 'TweetTombstone'". As I have seen in another issue already I assume this means I fetched a deleted tweet.

My question is, how do I handle this TweetTombstone without encountering errors?

The code I am using is the following:

for handle in linke_handles:
    for tweet in enumerate(sntwitter.TwitterProfileScraper(handle).get_items()):
        if date_start < tweet[1].date < date_end:
            tweets_list1.append(tweet[1])

Here you can see the error:

What's your snscrape version, and do you have some examples of profiles that trigger this?

Hello, my snscrape version is 0.4.3.20220106. For example, the user handle "SevimDagdelen" triggers this Exception.

This is closely related to #433. The specific problematic tweet is 979340820968026112, and that's age-restricted. Why that's sometimes TweetTombstone and sometimes TweetUnavailable is beyond me.
