twikit Twikit requests now always return Cloudflare 403 even with fresh cookies

All cookie-based calls (client.user(), timelines, etc.) now die with twikit.errors.Forbidden: status: 403 and the Cloudflare block HTML, even after:

fresh cookie export (auth_token, ct0, twid, etc.) Chrome UA + custom TLS context (ssl + httpx.AsyncHTTPTransport, TLS 1.2–1.3, ALPN ["h2","http/1.1"], Chrome cipher suite) same machine/IP where the browser works fine (browser never sees a challenge, so no cf_clearance to copy) Are other folks seeing the same wall? If you’re still able to use Twikit, are you solving Cloudflare somehow (cf_clearance, solver, different proxy), or did tweaking TLS/UA alone work for you? Looking for confirmation before I keep digging.

Of course, the day I pick it up. Anybody have a working example?

I've been troubled by this problem for several days. I've tried many solutions but couldn't fix it. I also attempted to contact the repository's author, but unfortunately, I haven't received a response. However, I finally found a paid solution, and the price is quite reasonable. I don't want to waste any more of my time. twitter_login

Nov 17 '25 17:11 XAICH

Another method is TakionAPI free trial

Nov 17 '25 18:11 CODIW9

I've been using twitter-openapi-python. Bit less intuitive to use, but fully functional?

Nov 17 '25 19:11 science-cat

Still facing the same problem, somebody found a solution?
