Auth error (353): This request requires a matching csrf cookie and header.

I am suddenly getting this error, which I don't know how to fix, this is relevant part of the code. So if you could help me with that, I am going to be glad.

    scraper := twitterscraper.New()
    loggedIn := false
    f, err := os.Open("cookies.json")
    if err == nil {
        defer f.Close()
        var cookies []*http.Cookie
        err := json.NewDecoder(f).Decode(&cookies)
        if err == nil {
            scraper.SetCookies(cookies)
            loggedIn = scraper.IsLoggedIn()
        }
    }
    if !loggedIn {
        _ = os.Remove("cookies.json")
        err := scraper.Login("usr", "pass")
        if err != nil {
            utils.WrapErrorLog(err.Error() + " 1")
            return
        }
        cookies := scraper.GetCookies()
        js, _ := json.Marshal(cookies)
        f, _ := os.Create("cookies.json")
        _, err = f.Write(js)
        if err != nil {
            utils.WrapErrorLog(err.Error() + " 2")
            return
        }
    }

sorry but Login method doesn't work right now. recently it's require X-Client-Transaction-Id header wich i've tried to implement but wasn't succeed:( if someone want to dive into it i can share my recent code

We would love to help and contribute. Please share and we can collaborate

@imperatrona I wrote a fix for this today and it works. We should collaborate on maintaining this package together. We are going to fork and maintain the fork carefully. We are also going to refactor the code so it's not a flat package which will make it easier to maintain. We are an open source company and have resources to maintain this consistently. Why don't we team up and build a community around a stable go package together? We will make sure it's maintained in a daily basis and we can collaborate together with you getting full credit for all your amazing work.

I love the work you have done to iterate on n0madics work.

I sent you a twitter dm let's chat there. We are hiring great people to work with as well 🤩

@imperatrona This is still happening to me after updating to 0.0.13 😔

[imperatrona]

@ealmuina do you get same 353 error?

[ealmuina]

Yes, same 353: This request requires a matching csrf cookie and header

[imperatrona]
