Cannot login #36

Closed PomegranateApps closed 3 years ago

PomegranateApps commented 3 years ago

I'm receiving this message when I try to login.

[getOAuthToken] Cannot proceed login because CAPTCHA rate limit: talon

PomegranateApps commented 3 years ago

Can you help me understand why I am getting this error?

iXyles commented 3 years ago

The issue is coming from Epic because they have enforced CAPTCHA on all login requests. The regular login auth with email & password is not a good way to do it anymore. And no sorry I do not have a good workaround for this, it is better to look for other ways to authenticate or just make it possible to pass in a valid exchange code to generate the device tokens as described in one of the samples.

Ok, thanks for letting me know! What are others doing like Fortnite Tracker to circumvent this?

iXyles commented 3 years ago

They have generated "device tokens" which can be done with the lib, if you supply an exchange code manually instead of using the "login" sequence

PomegranateApps commented 3 years ago

How do you get the exchange code? I tried the instructions in the Readme but the link gives me this error.

Cannot GET /id/api/exchange

PomegranateApps commented 3 years ago

Ok, I was able to get the exchange code and generate the device auths. How do I get the access token?
