Niantic Server responses changed. Can't catch pokemon or see pokestops

[TianCNCA]

EDIT from TheSavior:

It looks like the request structure has changed. Every bot, map, and 3rd party app is currently working to update.

Niantic changed their API. People are working on a fix but there is no ETA yet. If you want to know what changed read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongodev/comments/4w1cvr/pokemongo_current_api_status/

This happens to all my accounts including the ones I only use with the bot. Login from phone is fine, however.

but it seems like they may just be doing something to stop unofficial api calls...

[sparshgupta]

Happening for me as well

[djsly]

Same here.

[teehtheg]

seems to be a login issue ...

[kinvaris]

Happened for me as well in Europe. Seems to be like login servers are critical... Although I tried to login via my cellphone and it worked ...

[mjmadsen]

Same. On my other devices and non bot accounts too. Maybe they're under another DDoS.

[retraut]

Same here. Provider Online.net

[borte]

Got in on my phone with google account.. PTC account is not working

[tvb]

Same for me. Europe. Google login

[ramonchk]

Same here.

[jomarocas]

is the server of pokemon or google login?

[mjmadsen]

Looks like both Google and PTC logins.

[retraut]

@mjmadsen seems both

[borte]

Seems to be working from Norway. Not working from my box in Frankfurt

[jomarocas]

but i can enter in pokemon from the app in android, but for the bot i cannot enter

[AcorpBG]

can't login either web login to pokemon.com works They may have put additional security

[djsly]

probably roll updating the servers accepting the connections across the different countries.

[retraut]

Working from Ukraine on Android

[MatthewBCooke]

The app says they're down: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/server-status-for-pokemon-go/id1135239143?mt=8

[tvb]

Fixed for me; see http://ispokemongodownornot.com/

[chinmaygupta28]

Fixed.

[kinvaris]

Fixed

[Kassadd]

Same, fixed!

[borte]

Here too

[MatthewBCooke]

Google is back up, PTC still having issues

[TianCNCA]

Seems to be fixed. Closing this thread in 10 minutes if nothing is up.

[riseno]

can login back to server. cheers~

[TianCNCA]

Hmm, bot is not picking up any pokeshop or pokemon. I'm suspecting the bot is finally banned.

[Lihouf]

I need to make a maj on my phone

[djsly]

its not walking for me though

[h4n0]

yes, login is no problem but now nothing can be caught or picked up...

[riseno]

@TianCNCA i don't have this issue, work like normal.

[carl-eis]

Bots are completely unresponsive, only able to walk around. Servers are up, so the API must have changed with the new release. We'll either have to wait for a fix or this is the end ¯(ツ)/¯

[TianCNCA]

@riseno Can we see your logs?

[MatthewBCooke]

Seconded carl-eis

[diamanc]

No pokemons, no stops here

[benjaminmikiten]

I'm just getting "Server seems to be busy or offline" over and over. Login works fine.

[kinvaris]

No pokemons and no stops here too

[Lihouf]

Server UP but API maj

[riseno]

@TianCNCA wait.. evolving pokemons

[djsly]

evolving / transfert worked for me. after that though nothing

[riseno]

My fault, only evolving worked.

[firzzen]

Same here, only walking around. But this happened before the servers went down for me, see: https://github.com/PokemonGoF/PokemonGo-Bot/issues/2533

[yzhu09203]

same here. can only work around. no pokestop or pokemon. This happen before the server went down and same after it was up.

[PlanetoftheMapes]

I can confirm an API change has taken place. No pokestops, no pokemon.

[TianCNCA]

@GBasuel which bot is this one?

[carl-eis]

@TianCNCA He might be using necrobot.

[firzzen]

@PlanetoftheMapes i think it is time to go out and actually catch them now :)

[Lihouf]

It's not a server issue, API change

[TianCNCA]

When was the last API change? Can anyone remember?
