No bookmarks found for the logged-in account

Error message

No bookmarks found for the logged-in account

What it means

The bookmarks run completed (timeline exhausted or page budget hit) but produced zero records. clis/twitter/bookmarks.js:287 throws EmptyResultError('twitter bookmarks', 'No bookmarks found for the logged-in account') because an empty result is treated as a failure condition for the command rather than a silent success.

Solutions

1. Confirm in the x.com UI that the logged-in account actually has bookmarks.
2. Check the raw API response — if tweets exist but were not parsed, parseBookmarks/extractBookmarkTweet need updating for the current schema.
3. If resuming, verify the seen-set/resume file is not incorrectly filtering all new tweets as duplicates.
4. If the account is genuinely empty, treat this as expected and handle EmptyResultError in your automation.

Example fix

// before
twitter bookmarks --all  // account has no bookmarks
// after: handle empty result explicitly
try { await runBookmarks(); } catch (e) { if (e.name === 'EmptyResultError') return []; throw e; }

function isNonEmptyArchive(result) {
  return Array.isArray(result?.tweets) && result.tweets.length > 0;
}

try {
  const archive = await runBookmarks(argv);
  return archive;
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof EmptyResultError) {
    console.warn('Account has no bookmarks — treating as empty result.');
    return [];
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: After the pagination loop, finalCount (outputCount with --output-file, or allTweets.length in-memory) equals 0 — the API returned pages with no extractable bookmark tweets, or the timeline was genuinely empty.

Common situations: The account truly has no bookmarks; all entries were filtered as duplicates by the seen-set from a resumed run; a schema change caused parseBookmarks to extract nothing despite data being present; bookmarks hidden/limited by Twitter for the account.

Understand the failure class

Background: EmptyResultError / "no results found": when an API or scraper succeeds but returns zero rows — this error's family across 9 libraries.
