DenyLoginSubtask may cause IndexError

[ackness]

Looks like when access flow.task_id , the response sometimes get [] in subtasks

client.py#L330

        if flow.task_id == 'DenyLoginSubtask':
            raise TwitterException(flow.response['subtasks'][0]['cta']['secondary_text']['text'])

  File "/root/xxx/twitter-api/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/twikit/client/client.py", line 330, in login
    if flow.task_id == 'DenyLoginSubtask':
       │    └ <property object at 0x7fba38ad5260>

yup, X shows the login notification then the error.

changing IP worked a few times then not.

It seems that twitter has implemented a measure against automated logins. Using cookies copied from the browser should still work. Use this method until a workaround is found.

[bennnym]

logging in seems to work for some accounts and not others

Can you elaborate on how to do that with the cookies @d60 ? I see the set_cookies on the client, but that doesnt seem to do anything for me?

[Choo-lux]

client.save_cookies('ookies.json')
client.load_cookies('cookies.json')

this worked for me. But I guess after this you must remove the client.login so it uses the cookies only?

[m4tyn0]

client.save_cookies('ookies.json')
client.load_cookies('cookies.json')

this worked for me. But I guess after this you must remove the client.login so it uses the cookies only?

Can you please elaborate on how did you do that? what cookies are you supposed to save? I can see some in my browser - auth_multi, auth_token and many more.

Hi everyone.

I’ve published a version that might fix the subtasks issue though I can’t say it’s fully resolved. Please try it out and let me know if it works for you.

python -m pip uninstall --y twikit
python -m pip install https://github.com/d60/twikit/archive/login_fix.zip

I found that this error is related to the User-Agent. In my environment, I encountered the error when using a Windows UA, but I was able to log in successfully with a Mac UA. It seems that the valid User-Agent might vary depending on the account.

From version 2.1.2, you can pass user_agent parameter to the client and set the UA freely. Find a valid User-Agent for your environment and configure it accordingly.

Like this:

client = Client(
    user_agent='Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 14_6_1) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.5 Safari/605.1.15'
)

i appreciate the help. After all that i'm currently getting

client = Client(
         ^^^^^^^

File "C:\Users\Duffy\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\site-packages\twikit\client\client.py", line 93, in init self.http = AsyncClient(proxy=proxy, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ TypeError: AsyncClient.init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'user_agent'

@DuffyAdams update twijit to the latest version first.

python -m pip install -U twikit

I am getting the same error, even after adding the user_agent:

client = Client(
   user_agent='Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 14_6_1) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/17.5 Safari/605.1.15',
   language='en-US',
   proxy=proxy
)

await client.login(
   auth_info_1=account.screen_name,
   auth_info_2=account.email,
   password=account.password
)
