App closes when trying to use it + account suspension #62

Closed sahlofolina closed 5 years ago

sahlofolina commented 5 years ago

I don't know if this is a problem caused by something I'm doing wrong, any change on twitter or other users have experienced it as well, but whenever I try to use the tool, once I've entered my user and password, it stays for few seconds and then it closes. When I try multiple times, Twitter suspends my account under suspicious activity. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or any way to bypass this?

update your twitter password to ensure it is correct, copy the exe file to temp fold, then run it from cmd

And use dmarchiver -s from the Command Prompt. It will reuse an existing session. The first time, the account may be locked but it will work the second time.

Hi Mincka, We wonder whether the tools can be used without triggering the 'suspicious activity lock' one of the other developers mentioned. NB: We had scripted our own Python and Pattern tools six years ago, but are always on the lookout for smart Github Off-the-shelf solutions from the developer community.

You can use this kind of alternative for this need: https://github.com/FlameWolf/LoadDirectMessages

Regarding Twitter, you will not be able to prevent this kind of warning since you create a new session. The only way would be to reuse your own session by crafting the session.dat file (used by -s) with the cookie from your current browser session.
