[Python] Twitter API 403 Forbidden [duplicate]

I'm really new to coding and have been using chatgpt to somewhat lean on, in any case I created a discord bot to do a subset of tasks for a gaming server. Activision used to have a stats tracker and it seems they have limited it down to their use. In any case, found you can enter your activision account into this X post and it will return your combat record. I would like to do this straight from my discord bot, however, I ran into this 403 forbidden error. Error fetching original tweet: 403 Forbidden When authenticating requests to the Twitter API v2 endpoints, you must use keys and tokens from a Twitter developer App that is attached to a Project.
