PROBLEM : FOLLOWING !

Open topliftarm opened this issue 4 years ago • 11 comments

now i cant retrieve Following of users!

i use this in google colab :

c = twint.Config() c.Username = "myName" c.Store_csv = False c.Following = True c.Output = c.Username + "_following.txt" c.Hide_output = True twint.run.Following(c)

but i give just these ->

CRITICAL:root:twint.feed:Follow:IndexError CRITICAL:root:twint.get:User:'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

for many account checked and results is same

This affects me, too, though I use the command line interface.

> twint -u jack --following --user-full
CRITICAL:root:twint.feed:Follow:IndexError

Same for me. I have checked and it seems that response is empty...

I have the same issue! Is twint still being updated? Are there any other osint tools that can help with this job - i.e. getting a list of followings?

Yeah, same issue for me. I will watch this thread for any workarounds if anybody finds.

Anyone out there on this error for a user's followers/following? CRITICAL:root:twint.feed:Follow:IndexError Saw another thread where it had to do with "That's because twitter killed the no js (mobile version) version of twitter on 15th December. Followers were scraped using that version." https://github.com/twintproject/twint/issues/409

Also got the issue of CRITICAL:root:twint.feed:Follow:IndexError.

Anybody found a workaround?

Following.

I don't believe there is one Twitter killed the way Twint was using to pull followers. I use TweetBeaver for this kind of work now.

Please if anyone manage to solve this issue, add it here...

Does anyone have any alternatives to twint as @jcsimmons1 suggested? for tweets, I've found snscrape to be good. But for following, favorites, followers, etc. I'd love to find an alternative because snscrape does not support those.
