Twint: Cannot get user info and followers after editing the get.py

[AlexBietrix]

I have modified both lines 163 and 182 of the get.py file but I still have these issues:

• When I run the following line in the terminal: twint -u LindaKreitzman --followers I get the following error: ValueError: Cannot find twitter account with name = LindaKreitzman whereas the account exits.
  
  
  
  • When I run this in the notebook: import twint
  
  

c = twint.Config()
c.Username = "LindaKreitzman"
c.User_full = True

twint.run.Followers(c)

I got this error: RuntimeError: This event loop is already running
CRITICAL:root:twint.get:User:'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

(see picture attached)

Thank you for your help. I have looked at the previous issues but can't fix it.

Best regards,
Alex

For the event loop problem, try using the following
import nest_asyncio
nest_asyncio.apply()

I am also getting the 2nd part of the error for all users when fetching followers. I have looked a lot but can't find a fix. I have tried

1. Updating library
2. Using linux instead of windows
3. Using a VPN (though this doesn't seem to be a network issue)

Thanks for the comments. I now run this:
import twint
import nest_asyncio

nest_asyncio.apply()
c = twint.Config()
c.Username = 'LindaKreitzman'
c.User_full = True

twint.run.Followers(c)

But I still get the error : Cannot find twitter account with name = LindaKreitzman
This is the associated Twitter profile: https://twitter.com/LindaKreitzman

since a few days, it's become impossible to download twitter webpages with wget or curl.
Even Httrack doesn't work with Twittter.
I tried to change the --useragent but that doesn't work.
I think it's the same problem with Twint.

I'd be glad to read someone having a solution to solve the problem.
