Cannot format user lookup #562

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Hi guys,

Hope you are all well !

I cannot format the output while doing a lookup on a user.

Any ideas about how to solve this problem ?

import twint

account_id = "953155617098694656"

def getUsername(target):
  c = twint.Config()
  c.User_id = target
  c.Store_object = True
  c.Hide_output = False
  c.Debug = True
  c.Format = "ID {id} | Username {username}"
  twint.run.Lookup(c)
  return twint.output.users_list

if __name__ == "__main__":
  getUsername(account_id)

error triggered

CRITICAL:root:twint.get:User:replace() argument 2 must be str, not None

Best, X.

You have verified that you get the user details without the format? I'm asking because I just discovered that I'm only getting Username - 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable on all User searches.

if I comment c.Format, I have

so there is a problem in formatting the outpout

works for that but not for csv output... ^^

pielco11 commented 4 years ago

@x0rzkov for CSV/JSON output you have to set c.Custom['user']
