VerificationError

[Patrick3131]

Hey,

I can not login with the api and my e-mail + pw. I get this error: "raise VerificationError"

Is it still working for you? Airbnb recently uses more and more verification processes, could this be the problem?

Thanks!

The API are from IOS APP. And they works well and stable, which I have used at least for nearly one year. Maybe you could have a try to use your phone number to login in instead of e-mail.

Hm okay, thanks for the answer. The phone number does not work either.

Also after my login attempt with the api, I get the robot check if I want to login on airbnb.com directly.

This is the code I tried to log in, did I maybe forget something?

import requests
import json
from datetime import datetime
from airbnb import Api

login = "test@gmail.com"
password = "passwort123"

api = Api(login, password)

profil = api.get_profile() 

Well thanks, anyways.

I am getting the same error, any ideas?

Thanks!

I still could not resolve it, I am still guessing it is because of airbnbs additional checks. Though I did not have any closer look.

It seems airbnb login endpoint is limited to 10 requests/hr. The solution then is to store OAuth token in DB or maybe a file, as this token doesn't seem to expire. If you keep getting 420 errors over and over, try to login to airbnb via the web and then call /login endpoint again to store the key locally PS: @nderkach I noticed your API_KEY has been added to the repo, I'd keep that private just in case..

The issue is caused by AIrbnb throttling login requests, I imagine their fraud detection system might also fingerprint your client. Good news is that you don't need to log in with your credentials that often. Once you authenticated the first time (i.e. with Api(login, password), you can just reuse the same access_token for subsequent requests. You can also initiate the Api object like this Api(access_token=<token>).

@pabloparejo the API_KEY appears to be the same for all mobile clients.
