UnboundLocalError: local variable 'html' referenced before assignment

[jalilbm]

I tried a basic profile selection:

profile = Profile(user_name)

And I got this error:

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/twitter_scraper/modules/profile.py", line 65, in __parse_profile
    self.location = html.find(".ProfileHeaderCard-locationText")[0].text
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'html' referenced before assignment

I believe that something changed on twitter website

I also got the same error to what jalilrooney reported.

By getting the response code <400> from the request; it seems like the old version server side render api has been changed.
I just get the html by replacing the User-Agent.
However, the selectors query need to change, since the new webpage did not contain the same column.

I have the same error. Can somebody point out a way to solve it. Sadly I'm not an experienced cooder yet. How did you solve this with the User-Agent @yimingStar? Can you explain that in detail?
That would be nice! Thanks a lot

Hi, @danielp3011
I made a pull request here - #167

Because the original page cannot show up, I use another user-agent to get a mobile version web page (mobile.twitter.com).
Next, we'll have to rewrite the selectors, since the class name of the web elements have changed.
By the way, there still are some elements we cannot get, but most of them are fine.

Should this fix still be working?
I tried it on my local file but I am still getting the 'html' error...

[rinaldipratama]
