Hey guys, sorry for the late answer - pretty work-loaded right now.

Could you please verify that the post you'd like to download has a title?

The error tells us that it's probably empty, but before that I thought empty post titles were handled gracefully as empty strings.

That's strange, I'll check it soon.

I am not sure if the script read the title from the main feed or opens each post sequentially. If opens each i can confirm both posts (one that was successfully downloaded and one that was not) has a pretty same structural <title>. If it is reading from the feed they are not the same. One that was successful has an <h2> that looks like <h2 class="Post-scss--module_title_lcBpS" data-test-id="COMMON_POST_POSTCONTENT:TITLE">title_text</h2> and the second post does not contains h2 at all

UPD:
After some time passed and new posts appeared in the Boosty feed that I am trying to download, I can say the issue may be related to feed scrolling. Posts that previously downloaded correctly now do not download in the same quantity as new posts appearing in the feed.

I managed to resolve this problem locally by editing the file "infrastructure/boosty_api/models/post/post.py" to add validator on the 'title' field:

# rest of imports
from pydantic import BaseModel, validator

class PostDTO(BoostyBaseDTO):
    # rest of class

    @validator("title", pre=True)
    def none_to_empty(cls, v: object) -> object:
        if v is None:
            return ""
        return v

You can adjust to set to whatever you need for empty titles. YMMV.
