I was getting the #189 error and the fix to update the dependency package worked until yesterday the scraper started failing when logging in. Below is the error:

ApiError: Response status: 401 | headers: "access-control-allow-credentials: true\naccess-control-allow-origin: https://x.com\naccess-control-expose-headers: Backoff-Policy,Content-Length,X-TD-Mtime,X-Acted-As-User-Id,X-Rate-Limit-Limit,X-Rate-Limit-Remaining,X-Rate-Limit-Reset,X-Response-Time,X-Transaction-Id,X-Twitter-Client,X-Twitter-Client-Version,X-Twitter-Diffy-Request-Key,X-Twitter-Polling,X-Twitter-Spotify-Access-Token,X-Twitter-UTCOffset\ncache-control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0\ncf-cache-status: DYNAMIC\ncf-ray: 9e372098184ed354-FRA\ncontent-type: application/json;charset=utf-8\ndate: Sat, 28 Mar 2026 13:54:32 GMT\norigin-cf-ray: 9e372098184ed354-FRA\nperf: 7402827104\nserver: cloudflare envoy\nstrict-transport-security: max-age=631138519; includeSubdomains\nvary: accept-encoding\nx-response-time: 12\nx-served-by: t4_a\nx-transaction-id: 7077ef3b4f07e0fb" | data: {"errors":[{"message":"Could not authenticate you","code":32}]}
