𧩠Bug Report β KeyError: 'x-connection-hash' in api_utils.py (v0.0.41β0.0.42)Β #51
Description
π Description
When using twitter_openapi_python v0.0.41 or v0.0.42,
API calls such as get_tweet_result_by_rest_id() raise a KeyError because
Twitter no longer returns the header "x-connection-hash".
Error traceback:
File ".../site-packages/twitter_openapi_python/core/api_utils.py", line 64, in build_header
connection_hash = headers["x-connection-hash"]
KeyError: 'x-connection-hash'
π§Ύ Affected File
twitter_openapi_python/core/api_utils.py
Function name:
def build_header(headers: Dict[str, str]) -> ApiUtilsHeader:βοΈ Environment
- OS: Linux / Windows
- Python: 3.11.x
- Package Version: 0.0.41 / 0.0.42
- Twitter API change: The header
x-connection-hashno longer exists in Twitterβs HTTP response.
β Suggested Fix
Replace strict key lookups with safe .get() calls to avoid KeyError.
Proposed fixed code:
def build_header(headers: Dict[str, str]) -> ApiUtilsHeader:
return ApiUtilsHeader(
raw=headers,
connection_hash=headers.get("x-connection-hash", ""), # <-- Safe access
content_type_options=headers.get("x-content-type-options", ""),
frame_options=headers.get("x-frame-options", ""),
rate_limit_limit=int(headers.get("x-rate-limit-limit", 0)),
rate_limit_remaining=int(headers.get("x-rate-limit-remaining", 0)),
rate_limit_reset=int(headers.get("x-rate-limit-reset", 0)),
response_time=int(headers.get("x-response-time", 0)),
tfe_preserve_body=headers.get("x-tfe-preserve-body") == "true",
transaction_id=headers.get("x-transaction-id", ""),
twitter_response_tags=headers.get("x-twitter-response-tags", ""),
xss_protection=int(headers.get("x-xss-protection", 0)),
)π§ͺ Test Result
After applying this fix, all Twitter API endpoints (e.g. get_tweet_result_by_rest_id, get_user_by_screen_name) worked normally again on both Linux and Windows with Python 3.11.x.
π Request
Please include this fix in the next release of twitter_openapi_python
so that users of v0.0.41+ no longer encounter KeyError: 'x-connection-hash'.
Thanks for your work on maintaining this great library!
