@mwoolweaver I’m sorry, I lost the failing JSON file, could you send it to koen@rwhrst.nl? Thanks.

Now that I reread the error it looks like it is somehow reading a Python dict instead of JSON file.

This should have been fixed with new data format Twitter uses. Please reopen if the issue persists with this new format.
