[Twitter] Suddenly got an error saying it could not authenticate my twitter

[rarelygoeshere]

Hello, I just tried gallery-dl on Twitter today and all of a sudden, it gives me this error. The last time it gave me this error a few days ago, I found out that the account I was using to scrape Twitter was locked for unusual activity, but I got it unlocked after passing its test. But now it seems to gave me the same error again, even though I found that the account Im using for my config is still normal and remains unlocked. Is this something wrong on Twitter, or on gallery-dl? I hope to resolve this soon.

Same with Instagram too, they seem to be cracking down hard on bots.

Damm, that's real concerning then. I guess with changes like nitter dying because of Twitter, social medias are trying their best to prevent scraping and usage of third-party services.

gallery-dl --clear-cache twitter to force a re-login might help (#5445 (comment))

Otherwise, the updated login procedure (9e5d65f) and relogin feature (85bbb59) should do the trick.

gallery-dl --clear-cache twitter Worked! I can scrape with the account I'm using again! Thank you for this
