Fix RefreshTokenException('Could not find the Guest token in HTML')
ABOUT THE PROBLEM This problem has recently begun to occur on some environments. This doesn't happen every time, so if you are lucky, you don't get the error. The cause is literally literally that twint could not find the Guest token in HTML. Actually, sometimes token isn't included in HTML recently. #!/usr/bin/env python3 # This program is WTFPL. import requests res = requests.get('https://twitter.com') print(res.text.split('\n')[-1]) twint require the result of running the above code is })();</script><script nonce="VALUE">document.cookie = decodeURIComponent("gt=VALUE; Max-Age=VALUE; Domain=.twitter.com; Path=/; Secure");</script>. However, sometimes the result is only })();</script> and missing the Guest token. ABOUT THE SOLUTION In this patch, twint get the Guest token from https://api.twitter.com/1.1/guest/activate.json if could not find the one.
