Error message

无法获取用户信息

What it means

A `RejectError` thrown at lib/routes/toutiao/user.tsx:61 when Toutiao's feed API (`/api/pc/list/feed`) returned no usable `data.data` array. Toutiao employs aggressive anti-crawler protection via the `a_bogus` signature parameter; if the signature is stale, the token is invalid, or the IP is flagged, the API returns an anti-bot response with no feed items. The route is marked `antiCrawler: true`.

Solutions

1. Update the `generate_a_bogus` implementation in lib/routes/toutiao/a-bogus to match Toutiao's current JS algorithm (capture a live request and diff).
2. Verify the token by opening `https://www.toutiao.com/c/user/token/{token}/` in a browser.
3. Run RSSHub from a residential IP or use a proxy to avoid bot-detection flagging.
4. Clear cache key `toutiao:user:{token}` to force a fresh signed request.

const isFeedArray = (d: unknown): d is Feed[] =>
    Array.isArray(d) && d.length > 0;

try {
    const feed = await getToutiaoFeed(token);
} catch (e) {
    if (e instanceof RejectError) {
        // a_bogus signature likely stale or IP flagged — retry after updating algorithm
        throw new Error('Toutiao anti-crawler blocked the request; update a_bogus or rotate IP');
    }
    throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: The `generate_a_bogus` function in ./a-bogus is outdated and Toutiao's algorithm changed; the user token (`MS4wLjAB...`) is invalid or the account is banned; the requesting IP is rate-limited or geo-blocked; the ofetch call was intercepted by a Cloudflare/Toutiao challenge page that returns HTML instead of JSON.

Common situations: Toutiao rotates the a_bogus algorithm periodically, breaking the route; self-hosted RSSHub on a datacenter IP gets flagged; token copied from an expired session.
