403 Forbidden 453 - You currently have access to a subset of Twitter API v2 endpoints and limited v1.1 endpoints only

I had recently registered for the free level Twitter API, and I would like to use Tweepy to help me extract tweets from users.

api_key = config['twitter']['api_key']
api_secret = config['twitter']['api_key_secret']

access_token = config['twitter']['access_token']
access_token_secret = config['twitter']['access_token_secret']

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(api_key, api_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)

api = tweepy.API(auth)
tweets = api.home_timeline()

But after I ran it, the below error showed up:

If I understand correctly, the Twitter API document did allow for free-level access. However, I am not sure why it does not work for me.

Does any professional know how to solve this issue?

Sorry, my friend, but you cannot use the Search Tweets feature using the Free Level Access on the Twitter API.

You can use the Manage Tweets and User Lookup features on Free Level Access.

For the Search Tweets feature, you have to upgrade to the Basic Level.

Even with the basic subscription am still getting the same error. After paying for the basic tier, i registered a new application and got new tokens and keys
