Error getting tweets

[DavidPerea]

I have reinstalled Twint using the github command: pip3 install --user --upgrade git+https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git@origin/master#egg=twint

I try to get the tweets in this way: twint -u username and it returns the following error:

What can I do, please?

[hj5992]

I am getting the same error. Is there any solution for this?

[himanshudabas]

This seems to be an issue with your aiohttp_socks package.
Can you try to do a fresh install on a virtual environment?

[hj5992]

you need to update the aiohttp_socks to 0.5.5 version and this will work

[DavidPerea]

How is that package updated? I'm sorry because I'm still inexperienced at this. Thank you very much!

[hj5992]

pip install --user --upgrade aiohttp_socks

[DavidPerea]

It has been updated successfully. Run the twint command again twint -u username and it returns this error:

[himanshudabas]

Try the following steps and see if your issue gets fixed

1. create a new folder somewhere, like on your desktop and open powershell there.
2. run the following command python -m venv venv
3. .\venv\Scripts\activate (after this you should be in the virtual environment)
4. pip3 install --upgrade git+https://github.com/himanshudabas/twint.git@origin/master#egg=twint
5. now try running the following command from command line twint -u realDonaldTrump

Let me know if this works for you.

Have you solved the problem(TypeError: Argument should be str)? I have the same problem now

I'm getting errors like this on every command I've tried. Only installed from the master branch (on macOS 12.0.1 with Python 3.9.12) today.
Is this also related to aiohttp_socks? I think it shouldn't be, as it was installed for the first time, with twint today.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/twint", line 5, in <module>
    from twint.cli import run_as_command

    from aiohttp.helpers import CeilTimeout  # noqa
ImportError: cannot import name 'CeilTimeout' from 'aiohttp.helpers' (/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/aiohttp/helpers.py)

An example of the command used is the following, ... someone only following a couple of hundred accounts.

twint -u AusElectoralCom --following

I'm following up this comment

To fix it you must to have fixed version on aiohttp.
Edit requeriments.txt with aiohttp==3.7.0

in #1297 (even though typos are always a concern!)

--> #1299

... I have less errors now! (Only one!)

twint -u AusElectoralCom --following
CRITICAL:root:twint.feed:Follow:IndexError

#1206 suggests that this particular search (to list following") can't be done anymore without Twitter logged in. (Twitter changed) I don't see an option to log in, with twint -h.

It does however work for listing tweets, and it got a lot, as that (Electoral Commission) account seems to be employed to continually Tweet, at least as an election has already been called.

 twint -u AusElectoralCom --since 2022-04-14
