I've tested it for a day and so far it went so smooth, although there are rare cases it takes a while to fetch which I guess the problem with cloudflare. Overall it's a very good version, thanks for the fix and improvement!

Doing that tomorrow. Thank you for your contribution.

@monckey100 could you run npm list | grep node_characterai and paste the output please?

@monckey100 I've never used chrome regularly as a personal browser, so how would you do that? Thanks for responding by the way

You create an account on a machine, probably also login to character.ai and you can grab the profile and put it on your server after you set it up:
"C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data"
then you just point your puppeteer setup to the profile folder.

I'll try. I'll keep you updated

realcoloride commented on July 30, 2024

Hmm, weird issue. I don't use Replit, but perhaps I could try to help you there.

What is your node_characterai version? and at which line of code would it cause this error?

It's the latest one, it wasn't giving that error the day before. I encountered this error yday, was working well 2 days ago.
here's a screenshot of the code and the console showing the error

After a while of waiting tho it works normally without errors so maybe it takes a while to authenticate? I'm not sure

realcoloride commented on July 30, 2024

I think this is caused by the cloudflare waiting room, needs investigation

from node_characterai.

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

@realcoloride also this is caused by the waiting room. At the end of the error, it shows "/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/h/g/orchestrate/chl_page/v1" which is the challenge page after the waiting room is over just to verify you are human. I think this is caused by the waiting room also

Have you tried #72 ?

from node_characterai.

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

@realcoloride yes I can confirm it works. Sometimes it doesn't but this is basically the best thing I could come with. Sadly their website is extremely complex and you would need to work for Character.AI to fix any more problems

from node_characterai.

realcoloride commented on July 30, 2024

soo should I push your evaluate fix and commit #72? perhaps could you try reinstalling the whole thing and see if it works after?

from node_characterai.

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

@realcoloride yeah, that would be great. Thanks :)

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

@JamesVausch did the new update solve your problem? Please let us know and @realcoloride shall close this issue, thanks.

from node_characterai.

JamesVausch commented on July 30, 2024

@JamesVausch I think the code you posted includes your auth token. Please remove and make sure in the future that when you post code, it doesn't have any personal info inside it.

My bad, thanks for pointing that out

from node_characterai.

I'll test it later after work

JamesVausch commented on July 30, 2024

1.1.8 is significantly faster in fetching the chat object but gives out bad string error, 1.1.9 however takes a while to fetch the chat object but it doesn't give you bad string error. either way both needs time before it works normally.
Still good I'll just have the bot login once the chat object has been fetched I think. Tysm for the fix too <3

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

@JamesVausch you're welcome and thanks for pointing that out! Glad it works now, and I'll still find some ways to make it faster in the future. :)

@monckey100 could you run npm list | grep node_characterai and paste the output please?

from node_characterai.

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

@monckey100 it does seem you are using the latest version. I'll do some more digging and keep you updated soon. Thanks

from node_characterai.

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

Ok, here's some info: I went to the url where that was inside that error, and it leads to here:

https://beta.character.ai/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/h/b/orchestrate/chl_page/v1?ray=7f%207559a78f07275f

it's a valid page, and the beginning of the error starts with the content of that URL.

That's all I have for now, I'll keep you updated.

Also this

https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/get-started/reference/cdn-cgi-endpoint/

JavaScript detection used by Cloudflare bot products (example.com/cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/)

It is definitely bot-specific. @realcoloride so much for using puppeteer, cloudflare can even detect bots there now

Tomorrow I will have to open puppeteer in a non-headless mode to see if it's redirecting to that page, if it is, I think it has something to do with a new script that detects bots from Character.AI.

This could also be helpful, @realcoloride:

I used to get around cloudflare by importing an existing chrome profile, maybe that can be the new solution? it would require better documentation on setup. I'm not sure if it works any longer too.

Also with puppeteer extra stealth

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

@monckey100 I've never used chrome regularly as a personal browser, so how would you do that? Thanks for responding by the way

from node_characterai.

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

@monckey100 thanks! I'll check it out tomorrow.

JamesVausch commented on July 30, 2024

On replit.com I hardcoded the puppeteer path to make it work and not get a cannot find chromium or failed to launch browser process error

puppeteerPath = '/nix/store/x205pbkd5xh5g4iv0g58xjla55has3cx-chromium-108.0.5359.94/bin/chromium-browser';

Also somehow I noticed that when I did npm audit fix -force after installing the latest version of this package it fixed 7 moderate severity vulnerabilities but the package went back to 1.1.3 as can be seen here
I continued using the package and still added the puppeteerPath I mentioned above and it fetches the chat object quickly. I've observed it also consume less RAM. I'm not sure whether if it's the audit fix or the 1.1.3 version itself. I might try 1.1.3 without an audit fix see if it still works the same.

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

@JamesVausch thanks for the extra info, I'll try it out soon

from node_characterai.

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

Yep, that's definitely the problem. I changed headless to false, and the page wasn't loading. Then I checked the page's dev console and a script that loads the characters had a 403 error.

I then went to that URL that gave the error, and it was blocked by cloudflare and there was a recaptcha. The source of this entire issue is that in the package, some code somewhere is requesting a page and parsing the content but throws an error when the content is HTML form (from redirecting to the challenge page).

from node_characterai.

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

I also tried adding in a chrome profile (wasn't signed in, just a chrome profile from my computer). It didn't work.

This whole issue can be solved if there is a way to stop cloudflare from detecting it is a bot. I have already tried using Firefox instead of chrome for puppeteer, no luck.

I appreciate help from anyone that has a solution to this.

EDIT: After I rolled back to v1.1.3 like @JamesVausch did, my script works! Glad to know this isn't a character.ai specific thing, and it can be fixed.

I'm glad to hear it helped, tho how will it affect the newer versions?

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

@JamesVausch I'm going to do some digging around in requester.js and see what's changed that possibly makes it do this.

from node_characterai.

realcoloride commented on July 30, 2024

Hello again, I suspect that the newer versions have too much checks and redirections that cause long waiting times.

from node_characterai.

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

@realcoloride yep, and it's all in the requester.js file. You could overwrite that file with the one from version 1.1.3 and check it. I'll test it myself too.

from node_characterai.

Parking-Master commented on July 30, 2024

It's a lot better than overwriting the entire package with 1.1.3, it will remove newer necessary features.
