server says: BadAuthentication about googleplay-api HOT 39 CLOSED

So, after a bit of experimenting, I couldn't get it to work via the username / password authentication - but I was able to get it working again with token authentication.

I used this repo to help generate a token - not sure yet how long the token lasts for, but I suspect I'll need to spin something up to generate tokens and store them in case it fails again.

But at least it all works again :)

@louiscremen
ok, thanks, it works now :D

from googleplay-api.

@louiscremen Great! It works! Many thanks!

from googleplay-api.

I'm getting this same error but only when logging in with a phone

from googleplay-api.

I also have the same problem. I have just noticed that for some reason if I try to run the query over and over again it actually works (partially). Still have the problem in advance but the API actually shows signs of life.

from googleplay-api.

Same problem. It used to work, has the google API changed?

from googleplay-api.

same problem here :(

Same problem

@louiscremen how to setting the token in googleplay-api? i have token-dispenser server

from googleplay-api.

Change AUTH_TOKEN to your token in config.py

  | ANDROID_ID      = None # "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
  | GOOGLE_LOGIN    = None # "[email protected]"
  | GOOGLE_PASSWORD = None
  | AUTH_TOKEN      = None # "yyyyyyyyy"

Or if you're using the googleplay object, just pass in the authSubToken as a parameter. Depends on how you're using the project.

def login(self, email=None, password=None, authSubToken=None):

from googleplay-api.

@louiscremen how can us get the auth_token?

from googleplay-api.

Hi @feng13314 ,

I recommend following the instructions in the below project. You can set it up to generate static tokens in a text file, or a running server to generate tokens on demand. Depends on your needs.

https://github.com/yeriomin/token-dispenser

from googleplay-api.

Hi @louiscremen ,

 How long the auth_token's validity? Do you test it?

from googleplay-api.

I fixed this two days ago and the token is still valid.

I guess.. I won't know properly until it stops working. I'll post when that happens, I run this daily and get daily emails based on the results of this script.

from googleplay-api.

@louiscremen : I am trying the same method as you have guided earlier, but when I am configuring the MVN, It is generating an error relating some build error. Can you please help in configuring the token-dispenser project.

If you're having issues with building the token project, I recommend filing an issue in the token project.

from googleplay-api.

Thanks a lot for your help you are very supportive. I had the same issue few days ago and I am using Akdeniz/google-play-crawler.
I applied your solution and I could generate token ID.
Now I am trying to modify the Akdeniz's code to send the token ID. So I read the code for the googleplay.py (the login method).
The login method as you said mandates either using user email and password or a token.
But the strange thing that the googleplay.py login just sets the token in the googleplay object and does not send it as a parameter to Google. So I am wondering what should be the parameter name and value for sending the token.

I find this article useful https://sbktech.blogspot.ca/2014/01/inside-android-play-services-magic.html

So I simulated the code by just calling the login method with 1) the email and password as null and 2) added Token parameter and 3) set the Android ID with my device Android ID but then I got error Forbidden which is mapped to BadAuthentication error!

So can you please tell me the list of submitted parameters may be I missed a parameter.

One last thing, I read the python files (download ...) they just call the login method then get the data.
So we do not need to checkin we just call the authentication step with the token an Android ID correct?

Your help is really appreciated !

[Updated]:
Now I could login I changed in the method that returns the Token instead of reading the auth parameter it reads the Token parameter.

Now when I run the method to get the details I gt the following error:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Error retrieving information from server. [RH-02]

Did anyone see this error before?

People on the internet recommend that error [RH-01] could be fixed by restarting the device but our error code is [RH-02] also we do not have device to restart!

from googleplay-api.

well, this problem has been solved by using token, for the other problem please open new issue

from googleplay-api.

Thanks everyone for the effort.
I used the recommended approach to get the Token.
Then, I checked out the python code and run the download function and I get the Bad authentication error.

The solution does not work at all!

In addition, the googleplay.py script has a bug in line 109 (i.e., params ... ) .
This line should be on the same level as the if and else statements. I will open this coding bug in another issue.

from googleplay-api.

Thanks, everyone. The solution is working for me now. I am able to use token to search and download the apps.

from googleplay-api.

@avinashkmr632 So how it works for you. Can you please help. I have the following questions:

1. The login method in the googleplay.py does not send the Token parameter in the HTTP request so did you modified the code and added the Token parameter to the submitted parameters?
2. The googleplay.py does not send any request at all if the Token value is set, so did you fixed this bug in the googleplay.py init method?
3. Can you provide sample of the working code and working configuration (i.e, token)

@louiscremen:
Can you please tell me what is the problem in my code.

Here is the detail error

            else:

When I revert back to the old code I get the following error:

Actually, I did not change much in the code. I just added the Auth Token in config.py file and everything worked smoothly. Just try generating the Auth Token from https://github.com/yeriomin/token-dispenser

Just download the fresh code. Edit all the field in config.py and also add the Auth Token generated. And try running the code. I hope you will get the result.

from googleplay-api.

@SafwatHassan :IndexError might be coming because of this issue.
#73.
Check this once.

from googleplay-api.

from googleplay-api.

@avinashkmr632 So I did as you recommended:

1. Checked out the latest googleplay-api code.
2. Used the project token-dispenser to generate token

I tried both running the Spark server or using a simple java code that calls the token generation:

package com.github.yeriomin.tokendispenser;

import java.io.IOException;

public class TokenGenerator
{
	public static String generateAc2dmToken(String email, String password) throws IOException 
	{
		TokenAc2dmResource ac2dmResource = new TokenAc2dmResource();
		String tokenValue = ac2dmResource.getToken(email, password);
		return tokenValue;
	}

	public static String generateGeneralToken(String email, String password) throws IOException 
	{
		TokenResource tokenResource = new TokenResource();
		String tokenValue = tokenResource.getToken(email, password);
		return tokenValue;
	}

	
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
	{
		String generalToken = generateGeneralToken("[email protected]","Crawler_PW_20");
		System.out.println("The general token is [" + generalToken +"]");
		
		String ac2dmToken = generateAc2dmToken("[email protected]","Crawler_PW_20");
		System.out.println("The AC2DM token is [" + ac2dmToken +"]");
	}
}

3. Added the configuration for my device, email, password, and Token.
   I used the General token (not the AC2DM one).

4. Changed the googleplay.py file as recommended in the issue #73

/PythonCrawler $ diff googleplay-api3/googleplay.py googleplay-api2/googleplay.py
130c130,132
<                 k, v = d.split("=")
---
>                 matchObj  = re.match("([^=]+)=(.*)",d)
>                 k=matchObj.group(1)
>                 v=matchObj.group(2)

5. Run the code and I still get the error:

/PythonCrawler/googleplay-api2 $ python download.py com.facebook.katana
/lib/python2.7/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:852: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced-usage.html#ssl-warnings

    return self._values[key]
IndexError: list index out of range

from googleplay-api.

@avinashkmr632

1. I used both general token and the ac2dm tokens and does not work.
2. Can you print one value for valid token so i test with it.
3. Is the InsecureRequestWarning is an issue (see my logs).
4. I do not expect that the googleplay.py sends any request at all when the Token value is set.
   So could you please make diff between the googleplay.py on git hub and your local file.
   I just need to see the changed lines.

from googleplay-api.

The issue is solved, I was using my actual device ID and when I used the testing Device ID it works.
Thanks @avinashkmr632 for your help!

Can you please help ? I also facing the same issue with the IndexError .

1. I got the token from the token-dispenser by writing a simple java code and I try with both general token and the ac2dm tokens in config.py file in googleplay-api

final TelephonyManager tm =(TelephonyManager)getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
 String deviceid = tm.getDeviceId();

@Maria06 Actually I did not run this crawler, my crawler uses the Akdeniz crawler https://github.com/Akdeniz/google-play-crawler. What I did is the following:

1. I used the token generator project and generated token. As you said, you can simply just call the java class that generates the token and no need to install Spark server.
2. I use https://github.com/Akdeniz/google-play-crawler to generate Android ID (the method postCheckin in the class GooglePlayAPI.java)
3. I use the generated token + Android ID + email and password to call the method details in the class GooglePlayAPI.java)

Here is my main testing method:

 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
  	{
      	String 	loaclAddressString = Inet6Address.getLocalHost().getHostAddress();

       // I just refactored the code to has the email, password, device model and SDK version as parameters
      	GooglePlayAPI service = new GooglePlayAPI("email", "password", loaclAddressString, "GT-I9300", "13");
      	
      	service.generateAndoirdID();
      	service.generateToken();
      	System.out.println("Generated Token is [" +  service.generalToken + "]");

      	System.out.println("Generated Android ID is [" +  service.androidID + "]");
      	
      	DetailsResponse res = service.details("com.bfs.ninjump");
      	
      	System.out.println(res);
  	}

The main showstopper for me was the Android ID as I was using my Device Android ID and it seems that it was blocked so I recommend that you try different Android IDs for different devices.

You can get the Android ID for a device using app called Device ID or pass your IMEI or your Android Device ID both will work.

For me I did not try to run the code for this project as it gave me the Index error. Instead my code uses the Akdeniz crawler but I used the token generation code to generate token then use it with Akdeniz crawler code.

@4knahs
Thanks for sharing your code. I managed to execute your code.
However, the statement "r = request.get(cmd)" just returns r being <Response [404]>.
May I know what are the possible reasons for this?

the cmd I used is
cmd = "http://localhost:" + "8080" + "/token/email/" + GOOGLE_LOGIN

@avinashkmr632 hi,Can you please help ? I also facing the same issue that login error badauthentication .
sorry, my english is poor.

Don't use special characters in your password If you have BadAuthentication error: mgp25/SC-API#30 (comment)

from googleplay-api.

So I used Token dispenser to get rid of the bad Auth error once before but now it's back. I haven't got it working yet.

• I tried removing special characters from the password.
• I've tried creating and using a new token.
• I tried adding a credit card to my account as that is required now.

None of that worked. Has anyone ran into this issue after using the token dispenser?
