Email Login skype

[JingjingZhu6688]

Before we start...

• [X] I've searched existing issues, but my problem hasn't been reported yet.
• [X] I've read the documentation (including notes on error messages and rate limiting), but my problem is something else.
• [X] I've tested the behaviour on Skype for Web, and it works there but not with SkPy.

Summary

When I log in to skype using my email, trying to refresh the token throws an exception, and logging in using my mobile number doesn't matter

Code sample

sk = Skype('my email', 'my pwd') # connect to Skype
print(sk.conn.tokenExpiry)
sk.conn.refreshSkypeToken()

Code output

{'skype': datetime.datetime(2024, 6, 26, 15, 8, 48), 'reg': datetime.datetime(2024, 6, 26, 15, 8, 49)}
Traceback (most recent call last):

    print(sk.conn.refreshSkypeToken())

• Set the SKPY_DEBUG_HTTP=1 environment variable so that requests to the Skype API are logged.
• Make sure to redact any personal information -- authentication tokens, passwords, usernames, email addresses, contact details etc.

That said, why are you immediately refreshing your token? You've printed the expiry time which should have been valid for a day, and SkPy handles refreshing the token for you.

This is just a test, because I want to stay logged in for a long time and store my chat messages persistently for message backup. I don't want to log in again every time, if I log in again, I have to back up my messages again, I don't want to do repeated backup work, so I will manually refresh the token to keep my login status.

As noted above, SkPy will refresh tokens at the appropriate point -- you should not be manually refreshing your tokens. If you're doing it unnecessarily often and getting errors as a result, Skype may well be rate-limiting you.

If you've had a failed automatic token refresh (without manual attempts) then please post the full logs at that point.
