Where does the authorization token come from? I notice it appears in quite a few projects on e.g. GitHub. https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/blob/8836cf51e8a6b38

The project is cool. The de-crapified interface is nice (no weird JavaScript loading, no nags to login, t.co). But that also makes me think that the hosted version (nitter.net) is pretty doomed, since it directly undermines Twitter commercially.

Seems it is from twimg, which I believe is the image host used for tweets with images attached? I wonder why they can't revoke this. And interestingly, the js file linked in that forum post is still alive... https://abs.twimg.com/k/en/init.en.37d4e85afd8ede9741dd.js https://abs.twimg.com/k/en/init.en.37d4e85afd8ede9741dd.js
