404 Error Occurs After Loading Saved Session

[sceneq]

Environment

• Python version: 3.11.5
• TweeterPy version: 2.0.12

Description

When I log in and immediately fetch user tweets, the response is successful. However, after loading a previously saved session, fetching the same user's tweets results in a 404 error. Additionally, after loading the session, the client_transaction attribute becomes None.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Perform login and save session:

twitter = TweeterPy()
twitter.login()
twitter.save_session()

2. Fetch user tweets (success):

twitter.get_user_tweets(44196397, pagination=False)
# → successful response, twitter.request_client.client_transaction is NOT None

3. Load saved session in a new instance:

twitter = TweeterPy()
twitter.load_session()

4. Attempt to fetch user tweets again (fails with 404):

twitter.get_user_tweets(44196397, pagination=False)
# → 404 response, twitter.request_client.client_transaction is None

Hey @sceneq
The current code needs some fixing, I am already refactoring the code and will fix these bugs along the way.
For the time being you can save and load sessions manually by using this code snippet:

import pickle
from tweeterpy import TweeterPy

tw = TweeterPy()

#To save a session
#session_name could be your username or any random name u like
with open(“session_name.pkl”, “wb”) as file:
    pickle.dump(tw.request_client, file)


#To load the session
#make sure to use the same session name you used while saving

with open(“same_session_name.pkl”, “rb”) as file:
    tw.request_client = pickle.load(file)

Let me know if it works.

Thanks, your workaround solved the issue for now.

The session handling works using the snippet you provided. I'll use this method temporarily until the fix is released.

Appreciate your quick response!
