Hi @avisekksarma and thank you so much for your kind words!
- I'm worried I cannot answer to this. Better say that I do not have enough elements to compose a satisfying answer. We all are doing this in our free time and free of charge. I'd really like to keep a tool like this alive, but I don't know what will happen in the next future. Will is for granted but we cannot guarantee anything more.
- Let me make a distinguo here. This tool is not communicating directly with Twitter, instead it scrapes a specific Nitter instance. So Twitter will only see a Nitter instance making requests and at least it will block that IP. This is why it's important that you setup your own custom Nitter instance in order to not compromise the experience of other users.
- I hope this tool will last enough, too
Last but not least, please remember to cite all the contributors based on:
- PRs made
- Issues reported
Commits are public, so please refer to them as evidence.
Should you have any other question or concern, please feel free to reach out. You are more than welcome.

To add to this, Nitter search stopped working recently because of an internal change at Twitter. As far as I'm aware, it's not clear why that happened and the issue was reversed some days later. Twitter are doing everything they can to fight the public scraping of their data, so I wouldn't rely on this tool to work indefinitely. Since this project has an extra dependency beyond Twitter, it means issues may be outside the control of the contributors on this project and rely on the Nitter developers to fix.
There was a PR on the Nitter project (zedeus/nitter#830) that fixed those issues by forcing Nitter to send authenticated headers. This effectively makes it look like a logged in user is performing a search. Maybe this would be of interest to you? As this is less likely to break. But bear in mind that any Twitter user you use to login with may end up being banned for scraping.
I know they're planning their own REST API (zedeus/nitter#192), but there's no clear sign on when that will be available.
Sorry there's no better answer to give, Musk's takeover of Twitter has clearly screwed over research projects.
