How to login in pixiv?

[gabrielcesar16]

What's the correct procedure on logging on with pixiv? I tried putting my pixiv id and password but it fails everytime.

Have you tried using your e-mail instead? AFAIK Pixiv only accepts those for their API.

Tried it, didn't work, my grabber version is 7.3.0(x64), it used to work some time ago, also i have recently changed my pixiv password, don't know if that plays a factor into that.

I had the same problem. I tested my login with the Python3 pixiv-api package login and was able to authenticate and run queries without any difficulty. Also using Grabber 7.3.0 (x64).

I was receiving:

No OAuth2 token type received: {"has_error":true,"errors":{"system":{"message":"103:pixiv ID\u3001\u307e\u305f\u306f\u30e1\u30fc\u30eb\u30a2\u30c9\u30ec\u30b9\u3001\u30d1\u30b9\u30ef\u30fc\u30c9\u304c\u6b63\u3057\u3044\u304b\u30c1\u30a7\u30c3\u30af\u3057\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002","code":1508}}}

Just as others complain in #1765

I suspected grabber might not be handling complex password correctly (long with uncommon characters like quotes, slashes, brackets). After changing my password from one which is long and complex to one which is simple (short with only chars [A-Za-z0-9]) I am able to successfully authenticate to Pixiv in grabber. I am not sure if this is a grabber problem or not, but i hope this helps others find a better solution. Obviously it may be security risk to change the password to be intentionally uncomplicated, so do at your own risk.

That was very likely the issue. It seems there was a problem with using invalidated refresh tokens, which happens when you change your password. I just pushed a fix! Alternatively, you can also delete your accessToken and refreshToken in:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Bionus\Grabber\sites\Pixiv\www.pixiv.net\settings.ini

Thanks for the info! Indeed I could reproduce issues, especially with the & and = characters in the password, and just pushed a fix. 👍
