You currently have Essential access which includes access to Twitter API v2 endpoints only. If you need access to this endpoint, you’ll need to apply for Elevated access via the Developer Portal.

Hi, it says:

Is there any way to go around this issue without applying for elevated access? If there is no way, what do you have to say in the application of "How will you use the Twitter API or Twitter Data?", that will get approved, because I don't think saying that its for a giveaway bot will get it approved.

Thanks

It's honestly weird. I tried to disguise my reasons to use the bot, but it just will do nothing after clicking submit

It's on the twitter app website : Essential (free) api subscription can't retweet. So not enough acces for the bot to work
