[Bug Report] Error 403 Forbidden when using GET /2/users/:id/following with Twitter API v2 endpoint

[stevenvdhorst]

I am having the exact same problem since today.

[MarijaErason]

I'm using the basic plan (100$ monthly) and untill this morning I was able to pull the followers/followings of the user.
I use tweepy and create tweepy.Client object using only the bearer_token.
My app is under the project, so that is not an issue.
This is so unreliable if every other day some new unexplainable error will pop up.

In case anyone experiences any changes (API working) please write here. Thank you! :)

[sher9n]

We're having the exact same problem too! As of 2 hours ago. Why is the API so unstable?!

[stevenvdhorst]

Has anyone found a fix yet?

[davidnyseen]

same here

[alextes]

The changelog appears to be for the v1.1 API.

Here is the community developer forum topic: https://twittercommunity.com/t/get-2-users-id-following-is-now-broken/197526

No solutions there either as of now.

For the v1.1 endpoint you get the following on basic paid access btw, 453 code with: "You currently have access to a subset of Twitter API v2 endpoints and limited v1.1 endpoints (e.g. media post, oauth) only. If you need access to this endpoint, you may need a different access level. You can learn more here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/product".

EDIT: what am I saying 😂 , it literally says for the v2 API in the message. Probably the label is wrong 🤔 ? They even managed to break the message 🙈 .

same issue here using bearer token to authenticate:
403 Forbidden
When authenticating requests to the Twitter API v2 endpoints, you must use keys and tokens from a Twitter developer App that is attached to a Project. You can create a project via the developer portal.

DId anyone find a solution?

[sire-ambrose]

if you are using python tweepy, use the create_tweet instead of update_status

client = tweepy.Client(consumer_key =CONSUMER_KEY, consumer_secret =CONSUMER_SECRET, access_token =ACCESS_KEY, access_token_secret =ACCESS_SECRET)

client.create_tweet(text='Hello World!')

[xiaoshengaimm]

We have the same issue.
We are already basic plan and paid 100$ every month.
But When we get someone followers by api, we got this error. We can get the follow list before but today we got this error.
And We detached the app and re-attach it to the project, but not be solved.
It's crazy for that we can not get any accurate information from the error message.
The additional information is that our Tweet caps - pull is fulled. Is it related to this？？？

Anyone help for that!!!

[GuillaumeCisco]

Having exactly the same issue on followers and following.
But getting a user from its username is fine.

I'm also using tweepy.

[SaladAuthority]

Also getting this error

Api docs are returning a 404 (https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/users/follows/api-reference/get-users-id-followers)

I hope this API is not getting deprecated?

[mksmhdb]

Same issue here

[aseprite1]

Their updated documentation lacks GET /2/users/:id/following 😂 I can't believe this is an expensive paid API.

[pkilller]

twitter made a mess of shit。

[xiaoshengaimm]

Twitter is crazy poor. Two api need pay $42000 a month..............

[stevenvdhorst]

Has anyone found anything yet? It's been a week lol

[eth0izzle]

What's the workaround for this? I guess we'll have to scrape?

[sshah98]

getting the same issue

[verges-io]

Same problem here.

[rameman]

if you are using python tweepy, use the create_tweet instead of update_status

client = tweepy.Client(consumer_key =CONSUMER_KEY, consumer_secret =CONSUMER_SECRET, access_token =ACCESS_KEY, access_token_secret =ACCESS_SECRET)

client.create_tweet(text='Hello World!')

Is there any way to attach images without using "tweepy.API" as it gives error and "tweepy.Client" does not allow to attach images.

[MuhammedQuresh]

Anyone found a solution yet?

[MuhammedQuresh]

https://api.twitter.com/2/users/me?user.fields=public_metrics

Thats the solution to get total followers count and following count.

[MuhammedQuresh]

I wasn't replying to you

GET /2/users/:id/following

I am currently experiencing a problem when using consumer_ Key and consumer_ 401 Unauthorized appears during secret authentication. Using Bearer_ Token undergoes 2.0 authentication and appears as: 403 Forbidden
When authenticating requests to the Twitter API v2 endpoints, you must use keys and tokens from a Twitter developer App that is attached to a Project. You can create a project via the developer portal.

I am certain that all the information is correct because all other interfaces can be used normally. I'm thinking how to solve this problem? thanks

[SatyaBipros]

Facing same issue with basic plan, anyone have solution yet??

[FrankLoud]

create_tweet

also 403 Forbidden

[huojiecs110]

GET /2/users/:id/以下

我目前在使用consumer_Key和consumer_Key时遇到问题，在秘密认证过程中出现401 Unauthorized。使用 Bearer_ Token 会经历 2.0 身份验证，并显示为：403 Forbidden 对 Twitter API v2 端点的请求进行身份验证时，您必须使用附加到项目的 Twitter 开发人员应用程序中的密钥和令牌。您可以通过开发者门户创建项目。

我确信所有信息都是正确的，因为所有其他接口都可以正常使用。我在想如何解决这个问题？谢谢

我通过第三方服务解决的验证关注者信息~~需要的话加VX cs_125569489
