Any ways to retrive tweets based on hashtag for a time frame more than a year?

Im looking for ways to retrieve tweets from Twitter which contains certain hashtags. I tried to use the official API and tweepy package in Python but even with academic access I was only able to retrieve tweets which are 7 days old. I want to retrieve tweets from 2019 till 2020 but Im not able to do so with tweepy.

I tried the following packages GetOldTweet3, twint but none of them seem to work due to some changes Twitter made last year.

Can someone suggest a way to get old tweets with certain hashtags. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion provided.

If you have academic access, you are able to use the full archive search API available in the Twitter API v2. Tweepy has support for this via the tweepy.Client class. There's a full tutorial on DEV, but the code will be something like this:

import tweepy

client = tweepy.Client(bearer_token='REPLACE_ME')

# Replace with your own search query
query = 'from:andypiper -is:retweet'

tweets = client.search_all_tweets(query=query, tweet_fields=['context_annotations', 'created_at'], max_results=100)

for tweet in tweets.data:
    print(tweet.text)
    if len(tweet.context_annotations) > 0:
        print(tweet.context_annotations)

You can use search query parameters to specify the date range.
