Closed hvazquezod closed 7 years ago

Hi guys. Using Java, receive 401 response from Cleverbot. http://pastebin.com/XQjQPued

Any thoughts?

It's been changed, I hope the Devs can figure out a fix.

http://www.cleverbot.com/webservicemin?uc=777&botapi=chatterbotapi (new Url) change in ChatterBotFactory

pierredavidbelanger commented 7 years ago

Indeed, they (Cleverbot) contacted me yesterday:

[...] To let you know, tomorrow we will be changing the uc parameter again on the unofficial Cleverbot API. We’ve now developed a method for changing that and a couple other parameters as often as needed without disrupting legitimate clients much. [...]

So you should expect this kind of problem happening more often from now on.

Because they want people to use their official API: https://www.cleverbot.com/api/

I will soon refactor this project to consume the official API too.

Hi everyone, thanks for your comments. Just tested new url provided by @Skerberus, am receiving responses, but they don't seem to be related to previous inputs. There also seems to be some sort of a delay between requests (receiving empty messages).

Might be doing something wrong on my end though! Will wait for update by @pierredavidbelanger [:

I can also confirm that there's a sort of delay between requests, around 9/10 times i get an empty message.

If you're using Java and want to use their official API, I made a simple wrapper for it here. Otherwise, I know that the Exitor servers were having issues yesterday where requests prompted no response. Might want to try again today.

DeJayDev commented 7 years ago

Same issue. Moving to @Headline22's wrapper for the time being.

Please see v2 branch for a working Java version of this this project that uses the new Cleverbot official API. No code breaking changes were required, except that you will now need an API Key when calling factory.create(ChatterBotType.CLEVERBOT, "YOURAPIKEY").
