Forbidden Error Code During Device Registration

[ozlop]

I'm receiving a 403 Forbidden error code when attempting to register a new device. Has the openwhisper API changed since the creation of this library?

Original stack: Error at _outerAjax (node_modules\@throneless\libsignal-service\src\WebAPI.js:385:19) at _ajax (node_modules\@throneless\libsignal-service\src\WebAPI.js:488:14) at Object.confirmCode (node_modules\@throneless\libsignal-service\src\WebAPI.js:646:30) at AccountManager.createAccount (node_modules\@throneless\libsignal-service\src\AccountManager.js:417:40) name: 'HTTPError', code: 403, response: '{"code":403,"message":"HTTP 403 Forbidden"}' }

Hi @ozlop , thanks for the report! I'll take a look at this in the next day or so. I'm not aware of any breaking upstream API changes, but the library's overdue for an update to keep in sync w/ the latest Signal Desktop anyway, so at the very least I'll be tackling that soon.

Any idea about this? I've tried different numbers from different countries and keep getting error 403 Requesting the registration code via sms is no problem.

C:\Temp\libsignal-service-javascript>node .\examples\client.js register +4915902934xxx pwd12345xxx 617-292 { HTTPError: promiseAjax: error response; code: 403 at HTTPError (C:\Temp\libsignal-service-javascript\src\WebAPI.js:389:13) at resultPromise.then.result (C:\Temp\libsignal-service-javascript\src\WebAPI.js:345:13) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7) Original stack: Error at _outerAjax (C:\Temp\libsignal-service-javascript\src\WebAPI.js:383:19) at _ajax (C:\Temp\libsignal-service-javascript\src\WebAPI.js:502:14) at Object.confirmCode (C:\Temp\libsignal-service-javascript\src\WebAPI.js:674:30) at AccountManager.createAccount (C:\Temp\libsignal-service-javascript\src\AccountManager.js:410:40) name: 'HTTPError', code: 403, response: { code: 403, message: 'HTTP 403 Forbidden' } }

Tried with Node versions: 14.15.0/x64, 10.23.0/x64, 8.11.1/x64

It's most likely that this is just due to rate limiting; the Signal service's IP-based rate limiting is pretty aggressive. I'd wait a few hours and try again. Lmk if you still get the same issue, and I'll help troubleshoot more.

I think I got it. Signal is sending the registration SMS: "SIGNAL: Your code is: 855-911" For a successful registration, the minus in the registration code must be omitted. I did it that way: node .\examples\client.js register +4915902937xxx pwd12345xxx 855911 Can you confirm it?

I tried to use the productive environment now. I'm receiving the following error:

Did you recognize something like this?

I can confirm to use the verification code without a minus. I got it working:

node client.js requestVoice +55555555555 secretpassword
node client.js register +55555555555 secretpassword verificationcode
node client.js send +5555555666 Test
