The Token can only be used on the same OS that issued the Token In other words, if the sec-ch-ua-platform does not match, the Token cannot be used. This library uses the Linux Chrome header by default. To use Token issued by Windows, do the following.
client = TwitterOpenapiPython() client.additional_api_headers = { "sec-ch-ua-platform": '"Windows"', };
The generated client accepts any host that keeps X's path shape (/graphql/{queryId}/{operationName}, /1.1/..., /2/... under https://x.com/i/api). get_client_from_endpoint is for a host that already holds the session: it sends no cookie, no bearer, no browser headers and no transaction id, only the query and the headers you pass (the second argument is added to every request, for whatever the host defines). For example, twitter_api_safe_relay answers at http://localhost:3000/i/api with a logged-in browser session.
from twitter_openapi_python import TwitterOpenapiPython client = TwitterOpenapiPython().get_client_from_endpoint("http://localhost:3000/i/api") response = client.get_user_api().get_user_by_screen_name(screen_name="elonmusk")
