Conversation
ABOUT THE PROBLEM
This problem has recently begun to occur on some environments.
This doesn't happen every time, so if you are lucky, you don't get the
error.
The cause is literally literally that twint could not find the Guest
token in HTML.
Actually, sometimes token isn't included in HTML recently.

# This program is WTFPL.

res = requests.get('https://twitter.com')
print(res.text.split('\n')[-1])
twint require the result of running the above code is })();</script><script nonce="VALUE">document.cookie = decodeURIComponent("gt=VALUE; Max-Age=VALUE; Domain=.twitter.com; Path=/; Secure");</script>.
