Been getting the same one for a few hours as well now.

I'm not getting this error myself, but I'm pretty sure commit 5323c1c fixes it.
Could you get the latest -dev version from the usual places and let me know if it helped?

Looks like it was temporary. I'm not getting the error anymore on 1.18.0. Master branch has no issues too.

I have this issue on 1.18.0 when downloading through twitter.

I'm not getting this error myself, but I'm pretty sure commit 5323c1c fixes it.
Could you get the latest -dev version from the usual places and let me know if it helped?

Downloading through twitter again with this build has fixed the issue.

I'm getting this issue now with git master.

I had the same issue, then I added my username and password to the configuration files and then Magically is started working again?
I'm wondering if it related to the problem I started having where to view user's that have been marked as "possibly sensitive material" I've had to log in or wait until twitter popped up a page asking me if I like to view this "sensitive" material. Until it did I keep being presented with a "reload" button repeatedly with a message telling me to try reloading to resolve the problem, the rest of the page loads but the tweet's panel just keeps having the reload button message in it, and right most column just keeps giving the unhelpful help tip of just reloading the page.

~2 hours later it now works using the exact same version of gallery-dl

@Vaporeon gallery-dl caches guest tokens for 1h, so you must have cached an invalid one first and it still got used after you updated to git master. gallery-dl --clear-cache twitter would've removed the wrong cache entry.
@huskyhi this error only occurs when using a guest token, which doesn't happen when logged in.
