@victorpenna , I believe tweet.fulltext will generate an error, full_text to be used:

results = api.search(q=query, lang=language, count=tweetCount, tweet_mode='extended')
for tweet in results:
        print(tweet.full_text)```

This doesn’t work when the tweet is a retweet. You’re forced to make a structure with try/except to look for the full text in the retweet if exists otherwise get the “normal” full text
