I have a list of tweet ids stored in a csv file, and I want to get the text content of each id, then save it with tweet ids in a csv file. This is my code but it is not working, it does not return any result.

def scrape_tweets(search_ids):
        # Configure
    
        for i in range(len(search_ids)):
            c = twint.Config()
            c.Custom["tweet"] = [search_ids[i]]
            c.Store_csv = True
            c.Output = os.path.join('../data_csv/{}.csv'.format(search_ids[i]))
            twint.run.Search(c)
        
search_ids = ['1221875106206638080','1221883443467952128'] # an example for ids list
scrape_tweets(search_ids)

I got this error when I run the code:

CRITICAL:root:twint.run:Twint:Feed:noDataExpecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
sleeping for 1.0 secs
CRITICAL:root:twint.run:Twint:Feed:noDataExpecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Please checkout similar issue in twint's github issue page. Apparently, twitter deleted the endpoint from which the tweets were fetched, thus the timeout. error. The solution worked for me.
