Getting logged out of account when we post multiple tweets

[sahas-si]

Our usecase: We want to post 10-20 tweets every 10 min. We are using premium account to overcome the 280 char limit.

Issue: We are facing an issue with API_KEY authentication. I followed the browser steps & copied the API key from incognito & closed the browser. The API_KEY works for the first execution & we are able to post the tweets. But, in next cron invocation, the API_KEY returns fails to authenticate. So, we are unable to post the tweets for a continuous period.

I tried to generate the API Key using CLI trying out multiple combinations of username, email, password but getting returning empty object response. But, I'm getting a mail from twitter about a new login.

Have few queries on this:

1. How to overcome this? Should I login with the retwitt auth during every cron invocation?
2. Is there any sensible tweet post limits? Adding delay would be helpful here?

I think this might be be because of the x-client-transaction-id header missing from the outgoing request. I checked the HTTP requests to Twitter an it turns out almost all post requests now use this header, so it might be that Twitter/X is using this header to detect bots. GET requests work fine though.

Is there a way to fix this? I keep getting logged out too every ~24h from just fetching tweets

@sahas-si There is a way to generate the header used by another project here, but it's written in Go so it needs to ported to TS.

Another thing which I haven't tried is to copy over the header from your browser's devtools and use it in Rettiwt, but I'll need to check if it works.
