twitter's graphql api started returning 404 on every request from cobalt a few hours ago. all instances are affected.

update: the issue is not with request itself, same exact request works fine when done with curl. could be something related to fetch/undici?

instagram is not related to this; instagram also works, but cobalt can't get all links due of instagram/profile restrictions

turns out twitter blocked nodejs TLS client fingerprint, this is why curl worked fine while fetch got 404. now cobalt randomizes it just like chrome :)
