Hi @hitripod
I ran the script with your arguments and was able to successfully get a list of interesting users.
I suspect that your Internet connection dropped for a moment and the response was corrupted. Can you please try again?
Here is the list that was returned:
['perceptionsbyparker', 'tiedtiger', 'gutbloom', 'sourcePOV', 'creativeonion', 'TrukeLayser', 'helderluis', 'cjllewellyn', 'owenchien', 'justinbeswick', 'fisherlrp']
Radu-Raicea commented
Closing this because of lack of response and issue is fixed.

Yes, it failed by chance.
I think the ValueError
should be caught regardless of the quality of the connection. (i.e., handle the timeout)
Radu-Raicea commented
I will fix that soon!
