Try logging in to Twitter from a browser using the same account, then try rettiwt auth again.

Okay I have a temporary workaround:

  1. Open your browser and go to twitter/X.
  2. Open browser developer tools.
  3. Navigate to Applications->Cookies (for Chrome) or Storage->Cookies (for Firefox).
  4. Copy the values of the 4 fields: auth_token, ct0, kdt, twid. Store them temporarily somewhere.
  5. Open NodeJS in a terminal and execute the command: btoa("auth_token=<auth_token_value>;ct0=<ct0_value>;kdt=<kdt_value>;twid=<twid_value>")
  6. The output string is your API_KEY.

I'll be trying to reproduce the error. So far, I couldn't (it's working as expected for me).

On a side note, this has been a long standing issue, which I have not been able to reproduce myself. For some people, it throws the error, while it works after some time. This workaround help you continue your work (hopefullt).

I'll be keeping this issue pinned.
