Twitter API retornou HTTP

Error message

Twitter API retornou HTTP {}

What it means

request_tweet raises this formatted error when the GraphQL response status is neither 403/429, 404, nor a success — i.e. any other non-2xx HTTP status (5xx, 401, redirects, etc.). It surfaces the raw status code for diagnosis.

Solutions

  1. Read the logged status: 5xx → retry with backoff; 400 → refresh the GraphQL query_id/features from the current twitter.com bundle
  2. Retry transient 5xx/timeout errors a limited number of times
  3. Keep the hardcoded query_id and feature flags up to date — Twitter rotates them regularly
  4. Check for proxy/firewall interference if unexpected statuses (30x/40x) appear consistently

Example fix

// before
if !status.is_success() {
    return Err(anyhow!("Twitter API retornou HTTP {}", status));
}
// after
if !status.is_success() {
    return Err(anyhow!("Twitter API retornou HTTP {} body={}", status,
        response.text().await.unwrap_or_default()));
}
Defensive patterns

Strategy: retry

Try / catch

match request_tweet(id).await {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().starts_with("Twitter API retornou HTTP 5") => {
        tokio::time::sleep(backoff).await;
        request_tweet(id).await
    }
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("400") => {
        platform.refresh_query_id().await?;
        request_tweet(id).await
    }
    other => other,
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Twitter's GraphQL endpoint returns e.g. 401 Unauthorized, 500/502/503/504 server errors, 301/302 redirects, or 400 Bad Request for a malformed variables/query_id combination.

Common situations: Outdated GraphQL query_id after a Twitter deploy (400); Twitter incident causing 5xx; missing/expired headers yielding 401; corporate proxy injecting its own error status.
