Rss-bridge: Twitter - Could not parse guest token

[Failure404]

Hi,
since today I am getting
Bridge returned error 500! (18451)
Could not parse guest token
So either there's a new problem with tokens or is it just on my end?

[gurify]

Having the same problem since 12h

[arnd-s]

I had the same problem earlier today and added a pull request (#1647) which fixed it on my side

[em92]

In my laptop twitter works without #1647.

In my public instance with or without #1647 patch it does not work. https://feed.eugenemolotov.ru/pr1647/?action=display&bridge=Twitter&context=By+username&u=___em92&format=Html

I don't know why

Nevermind. With patch it works.

It does not work again :D

[twinsuns]

same problem. #1647 has worked for now.

[martywd]

Confirmed. @sarnd 's updated 'TwitterBridge.php' in pull request (https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/pull/1647) mentioned above works for me too to get f'n Twitter running again.

For the record, the problem is still present for people (like me) using the latest docker images (which is not updated yet).

Regards.

How long does updates take to propagate to the public bridges? Is it an entirely manual thing where hosts have to know to update? Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm working on trying to set one up myself.

[em92]

Is it an entirely manual thing where hosts have to know to update?

Yes. But you can make it automatic with writing script and running cron.

Hi,

Thanks for the PR.

It fixed the issue for me

[chankalan]

Hi,
the PR fix it, thanks !

[Nono-m0le]

The issues continue, even with the latest version :/

@Nono-m0le : the PR seems not to be include in the last version, you have to change your file like this https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/pull/1647/files

Easy ? No, but I edit directly inside the container (until the next image update) :

1. Go inside your container docker exec -ti <container_name> bash
2. There is no text editor so you need to install the one you want (vi, vim, nano, etc.) : apt-get update && apt-get install <editor> -y
3. Last step, you need to edit the file /app/bridges/TwitterBridge.php and apply modifications on https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/pull/1647/files : <editor> /app/bridges/TwitterBridge.php

I do have this version, and I confirm : I'm still having the issue (by cleaning the cache as well)

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/ce967b493274f0cd8c8bfb696e16f799188c7840/bridges/TwitterBridge.php && docker cp TwitterBridge.php rss-bridge:/app/bridges/TwitterBridge.php

[mbnoimi]

The bug still appears on my end (git.master.976445b)

[Tintwo]

Yes, because the PR is not accepted yet on master. That's the pb since 2 weeks.

[Felix83000]

When do you plan to accept the PR and run a docker image build please ?

[arnd-s]

FYI
i updated my PR because Twitter has changed the URL scheme for the API.

From: https://abs.twimg.com/responsive-web/web/
To: https://abs.twimg.com/responsive-web/web_legacy/

[Pofilo]

The change of URL works after a cache suppression, thanks :)

docker exec --user www-data rss-bridge /bin/sh -c "rm -fr /app/cache/*"

For the record, is this URL documented somewhere in the Twitter doc ?

[arnd-s]

I didn't search. I debugged the bridge, analyzed the requests and responses and tried to figure out, why the regex didn't matched

[gurify]

Works for me, too. Many thanks!

[chankalan]

For me too, thanks !

Thanks for the heads up! I hadn't realized you had updated your pull (https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/pull/1647). Possible that's why I recently started seeing 'Bridge returned error 0! (18466)' errors? idk?

So thanks again for the work you're putting in to fix this issue.

Same here.

[em92]

Closing as https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/pull/1647 is merged (finally)

[fourgroups]

This change now fixes the 'Bridge returned error 0! (18466)' error for me...

[kittykat125]

Hi guys, so I had the same problem and played around with the code. 1647 didn't fix it for me. Now, the error is just in plain text. It's also not a cache problem, imo. I tried having a cron job delete my cache every few minutes/seconds, but the trick only works for like 10 minutes. I changed the settings in cache_timeout, tried a custom cache, etc..

So I reinstalled the program in a different directory and got the same error. This leads me to believe that the problem is my connection to Twimg where the website is limiting the number of connections I make or how much content I download. I was trying to download a lot of data in real-time (0 timeout).

Maybe the problem could be solved if we have a version of the script that lets you access data via a consumer key?

[em92]

Hi, @kittykat125 !
About adding consumer key. There was a discussion https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/issues/1170. But not sure, if twitter bridge should be rewritten if after implementing private keys support.

About twitter bridge. Checkout latest change with merged https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/pull/1663. It reduces number of requests to twitter hosts.

Hi,
I still got "Could not parse guest token" on AWS EC2 instance.
On my MacBook, it works fine.
Any idea?

I have the same issue. My instance running on Amazon returns : " error 500: Could not parse guest token` "
the instance running on a local VM has no issues . bizarre .
