I am getting the below error with my correct credentials:

2016-05-15 23:38:41-0700 [scrapy] ERROR: Credentials incorrect.

Please let me know your thoughts!

I have tried with multiple accounts with no luck. Is anyone else running into this?

Hi @haanns ,

As we wrote in the paper:

The scraper code can be found at https://github.com/Deleetdk/OKCubot. Note that it is not functional at this time because of a change in the OKCupid website layout.

Probably the newer scraper does not work either because of another change made by OKCupid after the big news splash to make scraping more difficult.
