response 401

[dongxiaozhen]

My service nodes are all encountering 401 errors. I use the FetchTweets method.

response status 401 Unauthorized: {"errors":[{"message":"Could not authenticate you","code":32}]}

I'm now encountering failures when using cookies, auth_token, ct0, etc. Even when I skip the IsLoggedIn check and call FetchTweets, it still fails.

I've found other libraries experiencing the same issue. It seems Twitter has changed its login verification method. Here's a link to the issue for the JavaScript library: the-convocation/twitter-scraper#175

isLoggedIn is verify_crendentials endpoint. I can't get that working for the life of me, it's v1.1 so I'm going to assume it's just been killed off. The bearer_token needs to be updated for everything else.

Edit to add: isLoggedIn (verify_credentials) can work again using that token, only if User-Agent is changed to TwitterAndroid/<version> for that request.

I'm encountering same/similar error using cookie data to authenticate. I have tried using new cookie data - still not working. I'm using the GetTweet method. If I skip the IsLoggedIn method then I still get a 401 on GetTweet.

has anyone been able to fix it ?

@cmj are you using the cookie auth ?

has anyone been able to fix it ?

See the comment from @cmj on another thread at #50 (comment) - the alternative bearer token there works, but only for non-authenticated transactions and, as said there, there are more severe rate limits. The Javascript fork referenced by @dongxiaozhen seems to have made some progress, but they have an "experimental" implementation of x-client-transaction-id that may be making a difference.

@dirdigeng But what about authentication via ct0 + token?

[imyuanandyou]

auth error (32): Could not authenticate you
The same problem, after exporting cookies from the browser, is the same error.

Is this problem fixed? I tried to update token, auth, ct0 but I keep getting the error.

Here (#56) is a slightly modified version according to comments in #50

It works in my use-case (IsLoggedIn + GetTweets).

Please, let me know if it works for your use-cases.
