Twitter collector issues

Open gethvi opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Currently unmaintained Twitter collector bot is obsolete and presumably not work?

  • it uses unmaintained library python-twitter with recent issues claiming the authentication doesn't work python-twitter/#721
    • reason being Twitter API v1.1 was turned off in April 2023 (https://twittercommunity.com/t/what-is-the-deadline-for-twitter-api-v1-1-deprecation/189788)
    • doesn't work with Twitter v2 API
  • Twitter changed the access to the API, free accounts can't read tweets (#2346)
  • it lacks any tests (intelmq/tests/bots/collectors/twitter/test_collector_twitter.py is only a stub)

My suggestion is to remove the bot altogether unless we have someone interested in maintaining this bot. Right now it is dead code.
