Hi,

I am trying to use Twint.
I am running Python 3.6 on a Windows 10 machine.
I am indeed connected to the Internet but, I do use a VPN.

COMMAND RAN
twint -u officialmcafee --since 2019-2-17

Any suggestion?

Thank you

You're having connection issues with Twitter, as the log says

Twint is working fine, tested now

I suggest you to try later or use a VPN

[frenchthibaut123]

Thank you!
Solved, it was a VPN issue (blocking port 80).

[epanmareza]

so, when we got that error, shall i to install vpn ?

[pielco11]

@epanmareza it depends by your network setup. The issue is on your end because Twitter works fine

[epanmareza]

g = twint.Config()
g.Search = 'riau'
g.Custom['tweets'] = ['id','username']
g.Since = '2019-08-29'
g.Until = '2019-09-10'
g.Output = 'twintriau.csv'
g.Store_csv = True
i = 0
while True:
try:
twint.run.Search(g)
except AttributeError:
i += 100000
tweets = twint.output.tweets_object
g.Resume = tweets[len(tweets) - 1].id - i
print("broken id :: " + str(g.Resume))

when it on progress, i got an error
TimeoutError: [Errno 10060] Connect call failed ('104.244.42.65', 80)
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

ClientConnectorError: Cannot connect to host twitter.com:80 ssl:False [Connect call failed ('104.244.42.65', 80)]

[pielco11]

@epanmareza I think that you are using an old and deprecated version of resuming option, since Twitter encoded the resume ID

Anyway, it seems that Twitter is blocking your connections. This issue might be caused by your firewall or something else. Not related to Twint

[epanmareza]

which one resuming option that i should use ?

[pielco11]

@epanmareza just specify a file and Twint will handle it. Like config.Resume = "my_resume_session_123.txt"

Hi,

I tried using a VPN, but still get the error:

CRITICAL:root:twint.get:User:Cannot connect to host twitter.com:443 ssl:True [Connect call failed ('66.220.147.44', 443)]

Any ideas to solve? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Back then I was living in China where Twitter isn't accessible without a VPN.
When I posted the message, it seemed that the VPN server I used wasn't able to reach Twitter's website. So I switched to another VPN server, ensured I had access to Twitter's website and then tried Twint. That time, it worked.
If Twitter isn't blocked where you are, the use of a VPN isn't mandatory to get Twint to work.

But the VPN I used now can help me reach Twitter's website ,and I don't know why just Twint can't work. So sad....

Are you sure you are using VPN rather than a SSR app? I have the same problem when I'm using SSR, I can reach Twitter's website, but I can't use twint. You can try to ping www.twitter.com, if it doesn't work, it means you need to use a VPN app. Now I'm using expressvpn, you can also try Nord or some other VPN app. Hope my experience can help you!

Yeah! That's the point! Thank you so much for your reply! It's really helpful! When I changed to another VPN app, it works~

Hi! I suppose you should just try to ping www.twitter.com with your VPN to see if it works or not.

me too.I have encountered the same problem.

[huang122124]

I found many Q&A and conclude that we can use ExpressVpn or NodeVpn to solve this problem.Note that it should be a vpn application NOT SSR.
