Hello,

I have set up an application and with the helpt of the bearer Token and this help:
github .com/twitterdev/Twitter-API-v2-sample-code/blob/master/User-Tweet-Timeline/user_tweets.js
i am trying to write a custom news bot for our small discord server. So he reads the newest tweets from some Users and post the links in the Discord Chat.

But i am only able to get the Tweets of TwitterDev.
I tried it with the JS Example above, of course with my own bearer token but… i dont get an error and i dont get a response.

I only can read the Timeline of TwitterDev
It sure is something stupid… what did i miss?

What user or users are you trying to read? What’s the full request you’re making and what’s the exact response from the API?

For Test purposes i try to read user:
1072404907230060544

and this is my function:

const userId = 1072404907230060544; //genshinimpact
const url = `https://api.twitter.com/2/users/${userId}/tweets`;

const getUserTweets = async () => {
    let userTweets = [];

    // we request the author_id expansion so that we can print out the user name later
    let params = {
        "max_results": 20,
        "tweet.fields": "created_at",
        "expansions": "author_id"
    }

    const options = {
        headers: {
            "User-Agent": "80sChildNews",
            "Authorization": `Bearer ${bearerToken}`
        }
    }

    let hasNextPage = true;
    let nextToken = null;
    let userName;
    console.log("Read Tweets...");


    try {
    while (hasNextPage) {
        let resp = await getPage(params, options, nextToken);
        if (resp && resp.meta && resp.meta.result_count && resp.meta.result_count > 0) {
            userName = resp.includes.users[0].username;
            if (resp.data) {
                userTweets.push.apply(userTweets, resp.data);
            }
            if (resp.meta.next_token) {
                nextToken = resp.meta.next_token;
            } else {
                hasNextPage = false;
            }
        } else {
            hasNextPage = false;
        }
		//for now, only one Page
		hasNextPage = false;
    }
    } catch (err) {
        logToDev(`Request failed: ${err}`);
    }

    console.log(userTweets);
    console.log(`Got ${userTweets.length} Tweets from ${userName} (user ID ${userId})!`);
}

and the output is only:

Read Tweets...
[ ]
Got 0 Tweets from undefined (user ID 1072404907230060500)!

I am sure my Bearer Code is correct. I dont get any ErrorMessages :confused: thats why i am stuck

const userId = 1072404907230060544;

undefined (user ID 1072404907230060500)!

Javascript has problems with 64bit integers, you have to specify those as strings Twitter IDs | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform like

const userId = "1072404907230060544";

That was it. thank you very much!

And that, kids, is why you should learn the language from the basics…
