I've pretty much just used this script to generate the content for my guest_accounts.jsonl: zedeus#983 (comment)
|
where should the guest_accounts.jsonl be located? |
It should be put in the same folder where the nitter binary is. |
Put it wherever you want and set the |
Related question, is using cookie values from a logged-in user supposed to work when you build from the head of master? Nitter still won't run without the guest tokens, and I get segfaults when I try to use other branches and leave them out |
Did you put the cookie information in the nitter.conf file only? As stated here, you need to generate the necessary info for the guest_accounts.jsonl file. |
As I understand the current codebase, guest_accounts.json is for short-term credentials from when you create anonymous guest accounts instead of a "real" account (hence the name); if I understand this comment correctly, I shouldn't need a guest_accounts.json file if I enter the cookie info into nitter.conf. When I created a guest_accounts.json file I didn't need to enter cookie info, but I encountered a different bug where nitter crashed if I didn't use the service for half an hour or so, but bouncing the service fixed it. |
Guest accounts are not supported anymore, twitter took the API that generated those tokens down.
That PR is a little old now. It has no mentions of guest accounts.

I know that, which is why my Nitter instance refusing to run unless I have a guest_accounts.json file is confusing
The code from that PR is merged into the master branch, so I would expect it to still function correctly I am using commit |
The file name is irrelevant, what matters is its function. Without it, nitter will not be able to do anything, so that's why it doesn't start. Just add a real account to the |
Thanks @PrivacyDevel ! Worked like a charm! But I was not able to make the |
#42 has a PR linked to it to add a fix |
Thanks @rotorot0 ! Followed that and it's working now! |
How can I create a query to filter only tweets from search? I tried this but doesn't work
|
Anyone? @rotorot0 @PrivacyDevel |
Also, do I need to use proxy in case I am using multiple accounts? |
What would be an example of the config needed to run this repo with a user account?
