Login Issues

[jet082]

I went ahead and looked at the data being returned by Threads. I'm getting the following JSON with a known good username/password. I replaced anything that looks like sensitive data and presented the json in pretty printed format (removing the escapes as well).

The error given by the module is:

Exception: Error with the login response

The code generating this is simply:

from threads_api.src.threads_api import ThreadsAPI
import asyncio, os

myUsername = 'myUsername'
myPassword = 'myPassword'

async def post():
    api = ThreadsAPI()
    await api.login(myUsername, myPassword, cached_token_path=".token")
    result = await api.post("testing")

    if result:
        print("Post has been successfully posted")
    else:
        print("Unable to post.")

async def main():
    await post()

# Create an event loop and run the main function
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())

threads' devs changed api, wait for author fix

First of all, thank you for taking interest in threads-api :)

It seems the login API indeed had changed a little (as can be seen in other APIs eg. for NPM) Having said that, my locally saved token in the cache is still working (feature added to our threads-api yesterday).

I will be monitoring and researching solutions for this. Thanks for notifying.

@Danie1 seems like the password is now encrypted looks like the logic is supposed to be similar to the one on instagram-private-api so maybe this helps

Hey, please try v1.1.3. I changed the login logic to useinstagrapi which seems to work for generating tokens.

I believe it will also fix this as well https://github.com/dmytrostriletskyi/threads-net/issues/46

I will close this issue to mark as complete. Please open a new issue if the problem / a new one persists from v1.1.3+.
