Age-restricted content

Error message

Age-restricted content

What it means

Raised when the tweet result is a tombstone with reason "NsfwLoggedOut" or its tombstone text starts with "Age-restricted": the media is age-gated and the current (logged-out) session is not allowed to view it. The library deliberately blocks extraction here. It reflects X's sensitive-content policy for unauthenticated clients, not a parsing failure.

Solutions

1. Use cookies from a logged-in, age-verified X account for sensitive media.
2. Detect the NsfwLoggedOut reason up front and surface a clear 'age-restricted' message to end users.
3. If legitimate, route the request through an authenticated extraction path rather than the guest GraphQL one.
4. Treat this as a terminal condition — do not retry the same logged-out request.

Example fix

// before
if reason == "NsfwLoggedOut" || tombstone_text.starts_with("Age-restricted") {
    return Err(anyhow!("Age-restricted content"));
}
// after
if reason == "NsfwLoggedOut" || tombstone_text.starts_with("Age-restricted") {
    return Err(TwitterError::AgeRestricted { tweet_id });
}

// Detect age-gated tombstones before media extraction:
let reason = tweet_result.pointer("/result/reason").or_else(|| tweet_result.get("reason"))
    .and_then(|v| v.as_str()).unwrap_or("");
let tombstone = tweet_result.pointer("/tombstone/text/text").and_then(|v| v.as_str()).unwrap_or("");
if reason == "NsfwLoggedOut" || tombstone.starts_with("Age-restricted") {
    return Err(DisplayError::AgeRestricted);
}

fn is_age_restricted(tweet_result: &serde_json::Value) -> bool {
    let reason = tweet_result.pointer("/result/reason")
        .or_else(|| tweet_result.get("reason"))
        .and_then(|v| v.as_str()).unwrap_or("");
    let text = tweet_result.pointer("/tombstone/text/text")
        .and_then(|v| v.as_str()).unwrap_or("");
    reason == "NsfwLoggedOut" || text.starts_with("Age-restricted")
}

match extractor.fetch(tweet_url) {
    Err(e) if e.to_string() == "Age-restricted content" => {
        ui.show("This media is age-restricted; sign in with an age-verified account.");
    }
    other => other?,
}

When it happens

Trigger: extract_graphql_media encounters a tombstone whose reason is "NsfwLoggedOut" or whose /tombstone/text/text begins with "Age-restricted" — sensitive-media tweets fetched without an age-verified logged-in session.

Common situations: Scraping sensitive-media tweets with guest tokens only; X tightened logged-out access to NSFW content; region/age verification missing on the credentials used.
