Script Doesn't Work Right Now #188

Closed abdullahonden closed 6 years ago

abdullahonden commented 6 years ago

This script doesn't seem to be working right know. Is says "Twitter weird response". JSON file still coming from Twitter.com, possibly the syntax or something is changed. Do you have any ideas how to fix the issue?

Thanks..

('Unexpected error:', (<class 'urllib2.HTTPError'>, HTTPError(), <traceback object at 0x7fcb621313b0>))

Here's the page that Twitter returns:

I can confirm that the script stopped working.

abdullahonden commented 6 years ago

I think Twitter added a redirect or smth to get the JSON. I can get the file from browser, but script can't download it so it doesn't work.

Stopped working for me too. @abdullahonden Can you tell me how to get the JSON file from browser?
