Just use the corrected program made by nicoacu, he already solved it the last week: https://github.com/nicoacu/Microsoft-Rewards-Farmer/tree/8dd874c4853e787e754fe5bcf3a69480921de6dd

Seconded. I just downloaded this, unzipped it and let it run from the folder it created and it's working great so far.

I am having the same problem. I tried this, but I got the same error.

Me too. The fork attached there did not solve any issue.

It's been a while since I had this error. I recommend you using the original one with Visual Studio Code, I'm using the script rn and works with less errors than with the terminal. Make sure you have Chrome and the requirements.txt updated.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried to do what you said but I am still getting the same error. Any more help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully, I'm not doing anything stupid.

Any update on this?

((((I used to use a website called Bing rewards farmer as an alternative and it doesn't work for some reason (likely Microsoft put up some restriction/filter on types of searches) )))).

Is this project no longer maintained?
