" 'Tombstone' object has no attribute " error

Question

I want to scrape first 200 replies (text, number of like, date...) from a tweet of April 2022 and save these data in a dataframe named 'replies1_apr_22.csv' but snscrape library for some reason is not working. Maybe the data I want to retrieve is too old.

Tweet id is 1520534341951971328 You can read tweet and replies here "https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1520534341951971328"

Below you can see my code and my error

CODE

import snscrape.modules.twitter as sntwitter

tweets_list = []
limit = 200

def get_specific_tweet(tweet_id):
    print(tweet_id)
    for i, tweet in enumerate(sntwitter.TwitterTweetScraper(tweetId=tweet_id,
                                                            mode=sntwitter.TwitterTweetScraperMode.SCROLL).get_items()):
        if len(tweets_list) == limit:
            break
        else:
            print(tweet)
            tweets_list.append([i+1, tweet.date, tweet.user.username, tweet.content, 
                                tweet.user.friendsCount, tweet.user.favouritesCount, 
                                tweet.replyCount, tweet.retweetCount, tweet.likeCount, tweet.lang,
                                tweet.inReplyToUser, tweet.mentionedUsers, tweet.hashtags, tweet.cashtags])
            print(tweets_list)
            

get_specific_tweet(tweet_id=1520534341951971328)
df = pd.DataFrame(tweets_list, columns=['n', 'Date', 'User', 'Tweet', 'Friends', 'User_Like',
                                        'Replies', 'Retweet', 'Like', 'Language', 'Reply_to',
                                        'Mentions', 'Hashtags', 'Cashtags'])
df.to_csv('replies1_apr_22.csv', index=False, encoding='utf-8')

ERROR

AttributeError: 'Tombstone' object has no attribute 'date'

Hope you understand my problem

I was expecting open my csv file with 200 rows of data but is empty
