Hi - I use the streaming API to interface to IoT devices, and I am now updating to the new Premium Account Activity API. Yesterday I hit a hurdle with Twitter reporting an error 500 code 131 on the POST request.
I am hosting a Flask server on my internal network with a Public IP address (I have confirmed is accessible). The GET challenge response code is based on the Twitter python reference code. To register the Webhook I use the code below.
Searching the forum shows others experiencing error 500 but mainly on searches, not webhook registration, and the response is to wait and it should go away. I have been experiencing this for over 12hrs now, which suggests more than a temporary Twitter internal error.
Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.
thanks
Chris.

print (response.status_code)
print (resposne.text)
