Keep getting error code 401

[MahoMuri]

Hi just wanted to ask why I keep getting error code 401 for my backend requests. I used bearer token for authentication.

Code Sample:

import { TwitterApi } from "twitter-api-v2";

import Endpoint from "../interface/Endpoint";

const SampleEndpoint: Endpoint = {
    path: "/twitter/timeline",
    async responder(req, res, next) {
        const twitterClient = new TwitterApi(process.env.TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN!);

        // const roClient = twitterClient.readOnly;

        const user = await twitterClient.v2.userByUsername("someuser");
        console.log(user);
    },
};

export default SampleEndpoint;

Am I doing it right?? Are there any problems to my code? Any form of help is much appreciated! Thank you!!

Hello,

In theory, your code is correct.
Are you sure your bearer token is right and your ENV variable is correctly initialized?

Can you copy/paste the thrown error?

If you want more request info, you can add, at the beginning of your script:

import { TwitterApiV2Settings } from 'twitter-api-v2';
TwitterApiV2Settings.debug = true

It will print sent headers, authentification and request data.

Yup! I solved it 10 mins after I posted this. My dumb ass forgot to initialize dotenv in my project HAHAHA

Sorry for wasting your time ...
