Works fine on dev. There were no changes to the implementation in last couple of releases.

I'm also seeing this issue starting with version 0.57.0.

I have rolled back requests (2.18.4) to version 2.14.2 with the command:

pip3 install requests==2.14.2

After restarting HA, the Twitter notifier works again.

Looks to be the same error as: #10326

[fabaff]

In #9876 requests was upgraded. I'm running Python 3.6.3 and have requests 2.18.4. This works at least for Twitter. TwitterAPI is not pinning a requests release thus I wonder if it could be related to Python 3.5.x.

[eeepsylon]

Sounds possible. I'm also on Python 3.5.3 (Hassbian on Stretch).

[debsahu]

I'm also on Hassbian on Stretch. Python 3.5.3. Downgrading requests solved this problem.

I'm on Python 3.6 (running in Docker) and I can not reproduce https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/10326 with my setup.

[debsahu]

I upgraded from 3.5.3 to 3.6.3 on my Hassbian-Stretch. I can confirm that the issue is gone. This issue is specific to requests (2.18.4) on python 3.5.3.

And possibly related issue: https://github.com/requests/requests-oauthlib/issues/299

This seems to be a problem isolated to users running Hassbian.

Same problem with fitbit, but downgrading requests didn't help whatsoever. (raspbian / python 3.5.x)

There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates.
