Error: Session has expired

[sixcircuit]

The library has been working great for the last couple weeks. Today it started dying with the error message "Session has expired." Do you have any idea what I can do about this? My passwords haven't change, and I haven't made any modifications. I can login to the Mint web site. It just broke.

Thanks for a great library, and any help you can provide.

Does it still work for a while, and then eventually you start getting this error? If so, perhaps issue a lightweight call periodically to keep the session alive.

Unfortunately, I'm not actively using this in any projects at the moment, so don't have anything practical for testing things like this. I wrote it for short-lived things, like adding missing transactions (which didn't really pan out anyway because, at least at the time, you couldn't get the system to categorize things for you). Could you tell me more about your use case, perhaps?

I do see a new XHR call on mint.com:

Looks like just analytics, but they could also be using this as a signal for extending the session life.

I'm just instantiating the client, and doing a getAccounts() call. That's it, no long lived sessions.

Ah. I'll take a look sometime.

People are having the same issue with the python client: https://github.com/mrooney/mintapi/issues/73

I'll see if I can fix it and issue a pull request when they figure it out.

Cheers 👍

I turns out it's a two factor authentication problem. I'm just using this now: https://github.com/sktaylor/mint-getaccounts-casper. It only gets accounts, but that's all I care about.
