Did google change the way logging in works?

jwerardi commented 8 years ago

My scripts worked fine on Friday. I ran them again today, and I'm facing an error when the API is trying to login.

googlevoice\voice.py", line 95, in login raise LoginError googlevoice.util.LoginError

woodyl commented 8 years ago

Worked for me yesterday, failing today. If anybody figures out what changed, please post here!

They added a new input type on the login form "gxf"

you can try editing voice.py

        # holy hackjob
        galx = re.search(r"type=\"hidden\"\s+name=\"GALX\"\s+value=\"(.+)\"", content).group(1)
        gxf = re.search(r"type=\"hidden\"\s+name=\"gxf\"\s+value=\"(.+)\"", content).group(1)
        result = self.__do_page('login', {'Email': email, 'Passwd': passwd, 'GALX': galx, 'gxf':gxf})

It's more than just the new input type, it looks like they've changed the login POST URL as well. I have committed working changed to my fork of this repo and I've submitted it as a pull request (#25)

With the version I'm using I only needed to add the gxf bit

jwerardi commented 8 years ago

Thank you so much @ErinMorelli ! Your fixes worked perfectly :)

How did you figure this out, if you don't mind me asking? I was suspicious that it was the post parameters being changed, but I'm still fairly new to all of this and I didn't know how to diagnose the problem.

woodyl commented 8 years ago

Like tom-slick, I was able to fix my (heavily hacked) version by just adding the 'gxf" field to the existing code.

chris001 commented 8 years ago

@woodyl What else have you modified besides the 'gxf' field? Could you share your heavily hacked version? Because the "master" version here is failing to login.

woodyl commented 8 years ago

This is probably the relevant section:

        content = self.__do_page('login').read()
        # holy hackjob
        galx = re.search(b'type="hidden"\s*name="GALX"\s*value="([^"]+)"', content).group(1)
        gxf = re.search(b'type=\"hidden\"\s*name=\"gxf\"\s*value=\"([^"]+)"', content).group(1)
        # galx = re.search(b'name="GALX"\s*type="hidden"\n\s*value="([^"]+)"', content).group(1)
        # self.__do_page('login', {'Email': email, 'Passwd': passwd, 'GALX': galx})
        self.__do_page('login', {'Email': email, 'Passwd': passwd, 'GALX': galx, 'gxf': gxf})

I have borrowed snippets of code from various versions of pygooglevoice to keep my installation running and I didn't document where the code came from or what changes I made over time. The result is that the version I'm running is mostly the same as the pettazz version, but diverges sometimes. Let me know if this snippet gets yours running again. Also, note that this snippet was adapted for Python3 and might not be backward compatible with Python2.

Thanks for that tip! @woodyl :beers: FYI for anyone else with this issue. The master code from the pettazz repo is working. The problem is gvoice security. You must do the "gvoice reset procedure", which allows the gvoice app to login from the new "Device," when you're running this code on a device which is different device from your usual pc/device. GVoice reset procedure: https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
