User searches currently unsupported - GraphQL

[DrSocket]

Hi I'm testing out the new graphql update and found that User searches are unsupported, is there any timeline on this? snscrape.base.ScraperException: User searches currently unsupported

User searches (that is, searching for users by keyword, not searching for a user's tweets) are currently not supported as they use a completely different API.

I don't currently know when I will have time to figure out how exactly that other API works.

Ok, thank you, will use Nitter instance for that in the meantime.

Hello @DrSocket,

Could you please explain how do you use nitter right now, what are the best practices for example for twitter searches for particular keywords??
