Bot throws an error

[APratham]

I am getting an error when I am running the bot, can you please help in debugging it? I haven't shared the tweet, but I can provide some context. It is a tweet that has already been RT

events.js:292
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

This is an issue with the Twit library

The User Stream API was retired and removed in 2018, so this unfortunately no longer works.

Is there some way we can fix the error? Or else you know alternative Twitter bots?

You can comment out the lines 23 through 29 (the parts using the Stream API). The rest of the code is still functional. I'll send a PR with the working code soon.
