[bug] ApiResponseError: Request failed with code 403 (There is a problem with API Access.)

[furkancelik]

I installed the package as specified and my code is as follows;

import { TwitterApi } from "twitter-api-v2";


const client = new TwitterApi({
  appKey: "XXX",
  appSecret: "XXX",
  accessToken: "XXX",
  accessSecret: "XXX",
});



const tweetId = "XXX";
const readOnlyClient = client.readWrite;

const user = await readOnlyClient.v2.userByUsername("XXX");
const tweet = readOnlyClient.v2.singleTweet(tweetId);

This code gives error like here.

Node.js v20.11.1

On the developer screen, the project is created and connected, its visuals are as here;
I get the same error when I try with Bearer Token or API Scret Key.

How can I solve this problem? It seems to be a general question and most people seem to have started a thread about it.

Hey Furkan,
It seems like you're trying to read tweets? If so I think you have to upgrade to a paid plan
