No checkpoint data available #740

Closed avoqado closed 5 years ago

avoqado commented 5 years ago

What means body.action === 'close' in challenge.repository?

private middleware(body: ChallengeStateResponse) {
    if (body.action === 'close') {
      this.client.state.checkpoint = null;
      this.client.state.challenge = null;
    } else {
      this.client.state.challenge = body;
    }
  }

I have IgNoCheckpointError: No checkpoint data available in some accounts. But I don't understand and can't find how to fix this.

Show the code example to reproduce

avoqado commented 5 years ago

Standard login

await ig.simulate.preLoginFlow();
return ig.account.login(account.username, account.password);

Catch:

if (e instanceof IgCheckpointError) {
    await ig.challenge.auto(true); <--- exception here
    account.checkpoint = ig.state.checkpoint; //save in db to use in future
    account.appCookie = await ig.state.serializeCookieJar();
}

IgNoCheckpointError: No checkpoint data available at State.get challengeUrl [as challengeUrl] (/instagram-private-api/dist/core/state.js:73:19) at ChallengeRepository.state (/instagram-private-api/dist/repositories/challenge.repository.js:8:36) at ChallengeRepository.auto (/instagram-private-api/dist/repositories/challenge.repository.js:56:24)

On some accounts works good, but sometimes throws error. I'm not sure, but if you have only email it will work and if you have connected email and phone - doesnt'work.

UPD: Found issue with similar problem in mgp25 repo.

Also sometimes get this error in preLoginFlow(): IgResponseError: POST /api/v1/qe/sync/ - 400 Bad Request; No ID given

You can imagine checkpoint as a wall, that won't let you into a beautiful instagram world. There is a text on this wall, that requires you to pass a chellenge with uniq id. So, in order to pass a challenge, you need the checkpoint first.

instagram-private-api centrally catches checkpoint errors and writes it into the state. But if you are trying to pass a challenge in fresh IgApiClient instance you will get IgNoCheckpointError, because there is no checkpoint in state. So you must ensure there is checkpoint in your state.

it is the same state in login and in catch.

If so there may be 2 ways. 1) There is a bug in library 2) Something wrong with your account For me challenge.auto() is working. I don't have enough time now to debug what is going on, i hope community will help you here.

@dilame I am having same issue, many accounts work fine. But in some account it gets stuck in checkpoint. I have rotating proxy.

When I try to login it give checkpoint but when I reset checkpoint it give no checkpoint error.

Please check.

@dilame

This is the checkpoint data.

{ "message": "challenge_required", "challenge": { "url": "https://i.instagram.com/challenge/2351642412/KMQya0Xted/", "api_path": "/challenge/2351642412/KMQya0Xted/", "hide_webview_header": true, "lock": true, "logout": false, "native_flow": true }, "status": "fail", "error_type": "checkpoint_challenge_required" }

When I do reset = true, then it gives no checkpoint data available error.

If i do reset = false, then it gives error in step_name undefined at /repositories/challenge.repository.js:59:27

Please check.

I can assume this bug happens when we have no choice, just field to enter the code. Like this
