const res = await client.request({
  method: "GET",
  urlType: "gql",
  path: "UserByScreenName",
  query: query,

Email Available (i endpoint)

const client = new TwitterAPI(Bearer.Web);

const query = new RequestQuery({
  email: "twitter@example.com",
});

const res = await client.request({
  method: "GET",
  urlType: "i/api/i",
  path: "/users/email_available.json",
  query: query,
});

const json = await res.json();

assertEquals(json.valid, false);
assertEquals(json.taken, false);

Note

Request parameters and response types are not supported in this module due to the rapidly changing unofficial API specifications. Beware that Twitter will change its API specification without notice.
