@successor1 try adding labels like: Username {username} | Tweet {tweet}

I'm also running into the same issue when trying to format output. It seems that the problem happens here: https://github.com/twintproject/twint/blob/e7c8a0c764f6879188e5c21e25fb6f1f856a7221/twint/format.py#L23

Python's replace function requires its arguments to be strings, and doesn't automatically coerce other types, opting to throw a TypeError instead. Seems like an easy solution would be to go through and wrap all replacement values in str().

edit: In fact, it seems like there are multiple open PRs doing exactly that (#1179, #1213, #1221, maybe more that I missed). I do have to question whether this project has been abandoned.

Thought that I would leave this here. This is what fixed the issue for me output = output.replace("{replies}", str(t.replies_count)) output = output.replace("{retweets}", str(t.retweets_count)) output = output.replace("{likes}", str(t.likes_count))

output = output.replace("{mentions}", ",".join(str(t.mentions)))

Since it looks like this isn't being fixed any time soon, I made a fork to fix it until they do. (if they ever decide to) https://github.com/cyxv/twint
