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.
