Hi @filletofish,

you are having that error because that account is suspended, as you may check here.

Please try with a different username.

In case of further issues feel free to re-open

@pielco11 thank you for your help! Much appreciate it. I believe in future it would be good to update README to avoid confusions.

This twitter account @AlArabiya_Brk is not suspended and i'm still getting the same error.

code:

import twint
c = twint.Config()
c.Username = "AlArabiya_Brk"

twint.run.Profile(c)

output: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable [x] get.User

[pielco11]

@ZiyadMoraished I'm going to open a new issue for that

@ZiyadMoraished I'm going to open a new issue for that

Thanks @pielco11

well, once I updated the library to 1.2.1, everything started to wok fine.

It seems not working for twint installed from Git repo. If you install from pip (i.e. pip3 install twint), you won't have this error anymore.

May you share the commit id, @Linasunshine , please? So that we have a ref

I got the same error message 'NoneType' object is not subscribable' and the answer from #763 solved my issue. You can have a look and see if it works for your case. Question: ValueError: Cannot find twitter account with name = realDonaldTrump #763
