You typed "-l 50" but "-l" is the same as "--lang". I guess it doesn't let you define the language as 50. If you type "twint -h" in the terminal where you installed the twint, you can get detailed information about the commands.

Okay, as I read one issue on github https://github.com/twintproject/twint/issues/340 I happened to misread "-l" for "--limit". But kindly note that the error can be totally reproducible with/without the option.

I'm seeing the same.

resp = await response.text() in get.py is followed by a check for a 429 status, but for me it's always returning a 401 status (unauthorized), the code will then continue with an empty response.

Does neither work with the Dockerfile. Any idea how to fix this? It seems related to the fact that a user has to be authenticated to access the followers.

dK0y commented 3 years ago

I think you'll need to:

1) purchase twitter 2) then tell your developers to make the followers etc available again from the mobile 'guest' account which seems to be the workaround that twint used to obtain them but that is no longer available.

Maybe would be nice that developers inform us that this part is no longer working? I was having high hopes with this and see I cant use it now, wondering will it be deprecated in future or ?

same here

seanPhill commented 2 years ago

Is there or will there be soon, a way to authenticate with Twitter in order to get a list of following or followers?

Aside from, of course, simply using Twitter the "normal" way.
