Login Failure! Incorrect CodePlease enter correct captcha code.

Getting this after pasting the captcha response from the console. I'm making sure there aren't any crazy characters or newlines in the response.

I've tried both Brave (Chromium) and Firefox.

What about training spaces? You might have a stray space at the beginning or end.

There's really nothing I can do to help you here. I certainly can't reproduce this bug. Your best bet will probably be to create a new kobo account and see if it still happens.

Also:

NOTE: You must have a kobo email login for this tool to work (you can't use an external provider like Google or Facebook). However, you can create a NEW kobo account and link it with your existing account on the user profile page. Go to My Account -> Account Settings to link your new kobo login.

[ryanpcmcquen]

@subdavis, no trailing or leading spaces. I definitely have a Kobo account, although my account is quite old ... maybe that is the issue?

[subdavis]

Yeah, I couldn't even venture a guess. You might try creating a new account just to see if you have the same problem with a different account. The Kobo API is something of a minefield.

I'd love to help you, but there's very little I can do. You'd have to go in and dissect the HTTP response on your own. The best thing to do would be some kind of error reporting mechanism where the whole thing dumps to a file you can paste. Alas.

You could also see if TnS-hun/kobo-book-downloader works, just as a sanity check.

@subdavis thanks. I just made a brand new account and I am getting the same issue. I tried the browser form of the local server and the CLI.

[subdavis]

@ryanpcmcquen spoke too soon. This is happening for me now. Looks like Kobo changed something. I'll take a look later this evening.

Thanks for the report.

[ryanpcmcquen]

Probably captcha or something breaking the api? Maybe invisible recaptcha (or whatever it is called). Thanks for looking into it!

[ryanpcmcquen]

@subdavis, any discoveries here?

[subdavis]

@ryanpcmcquen thanks for the reminder. SiteKey for recaptcha changed, looks like kobo migrated to invisible recaptcha, which is good.

0.5.0 released on Pypi. Docker build is in progress. Please let me know if this doesn't resolve the problem.

Thank you @subdavis, it worked perfectly!
