Hi,

I still have not been able to find a solution for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi. I dont know if this could help you, but I recently implemented this code that scrapes almost all kind of infos on Twitter.

Hi, I have a list of tweet urls and I need scrap count of likes, comments and retweets. How i can do that via your lib?

Hi Yassine, we have spoken before brother. I know about your tool, sadly I need to collect data using the location feature from Twint using Latitude and Longitude. I don't think your tool has that feature as of yet. Correct me if I am wrong please.

I was running into this most of today as well running Jupyter notebook, python 3.6 and at 3.8, w anaconda package installer. I created a new environment just for this task, python 3.8:

pip3 install twint pip3 install --user --upgrade git+https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git@origin/master#egg=twint

On restart of kernel and change of IP address via VPN/proxy, it started working briefly (16 tweets), then back to the same issue.

Here is my most recent full print out after last tweet (tweet 16) collected:

[!] No more data! Scraping will stop now. found 0 deleted tweets in this search.

I am having the same issue on Dec 28, 2021.

I can't get it to work on Kali - the latest version with everything I need. I can get it to work using Google Shell, but after one or two goes, I get the same error. A token,

I have documented my journey here >> https://kali-ranger.blogspot.com/2021/12/kali-linux-help-for-how-to-install.html

File "/home/rangersmyth_74/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/twint/token.py", line 69, in refresh raise RefreshTokenException('Could not find the Guest token in HTML') twint.token.RefreshTokenException: Could not find the Guest token in HTML

I followed along with this post [1146] (https://github.com/twintproject/twint/pull/1146)

I am now going to install https://github.com/Altimis/Scweet scraper to see if that works for me.

Is there any fix for this please? I've spent 7 hours researching using 3 machines?

Do I need a token from twint to search every time? Do I need a token from Twitter? Are they blocking my attempt at scraping from Twitter?

What I am going to do next anyway is to delete twint and everything to do with it, and try the install a week or two into the future where it may be fixed.

Thanks in advance.

Twint can no longer be used from around January 5th. Did the usage on the Twitter side change? Is there any solution?

The error is: File "/Users/hogehoge/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/twint/token.py", line 69, in refresh raise RefreshTokenException('Could not find the Guest token in HTML') twint.token.RefreshTokenException: Could not find the Guest token in HTML
