**** API FAILS LOGIN AFTER CAPTCHA ****

[Doktor-Apokalypse]

Kik have done something that has completely broken this API. All bots now go to captcha and then wont log-in after throwing an error: AttributeError: 'My_Project_Bot' has no attribute 'login'

Is this API still being maintained? Or is there a newer python API that can do everything this one does?

Only just got my head around python and this API, and the moment my admin bot becomes capable enough to release into the wild, Kik fcks around and destroys 2 years of my work.

I'm far too old to be learning a new language just to use a different API

If anybody can help....Thanks

I tried updating device_configuration.py: kik_version_15_49_info = {'kik_version': '15.49.0.27501', 'classes_dex_sha1_digest': '5o61frOsakJJ2iCYafCoKHtyu7w='}

kik_version_info = kik_version_15_49_info # a kik version that's not updated might cause a captcha on login

but didnt work..

maybe @bluemods can help you, He is the only one still working on it I think.

I tried the kik version from my burner phone and generated the SHA1 digest: kik_version_15_49_info = {'kik_version': '15.31.0.23938', 'classes_dex_sha1_digest': 'iJ7HR5j5VbMGCkiRJYZ4AvvsGTg='} and used the android and device ID from that phone, and that helped nothing either.

Here is some info regarding the SHA1 digest which doesnt make any sense due to a unlogical pattern :

kik_version_11_info = {"kik_version": "11.1.1.12218", "classes_dex_sha1_digest": "aCDhFLsmALSyhwi007tvowZkUd0="}

found in Manifest and Cert

kik_version_13_info = {"kik_version": "13.4.0.9614", "classes_dex_sha1_digest": "ETo70PFW30/jeFMKKY+CNanX2Fg="}

found in version 14.0.0.11130 & 13.4.0.9614 in Manifest

kik_version_14_info = {"kik_version": "14.0.0.11130", "classes_dex_sha1_digest": "9nPRnohIOTbby7wU1+IVDqDmQiQ="}

not found at all neither in cert or manifest

kik_version_14_5_info = {"kik_version": "14.5.0.13136", "classes_dex_sha1_digest": "LuYEjtvBu4mG2kBBG0wA3Ki1PSE="}

found in Manifest

kik_version_15_21_info = {'kik_version': '15.21.0.22201', 'classes_dex_sha1_digest': 'MbZ+Zbjaz5uFXKFDM88CwFh7DAg='} #found in Cert

Your version doesnt seem to exist on the NET, I was only able to find 15.31.1.23601.

How do I get ahold of @bluemods? If anyone can solve this new issue with kik, ill pay them 1K.

You must be involved in a lot of spam bot activity if you are willing to pay that much for a fix.

Edit: after my reply, he deleted the post and changed his username: https://api.github.com/user/108567187 Be careful what information you put out in public, spammers are watching and waiting for help, as you can see.

[Doktor-Apokalypse]

That was my first thought as soon as I saw that reply. He's probably part of the reason it's been patched.

If you think 1k is a lot of money you should re-evaluate your life. Just saying...

I also think you are confused on where you think you are.. this is github not dontsharehub. You're on here policing these threads commanding people not to share information. What kinda authority do you think you have here? You wouldn't be as far as you are with Kik, if you didn't read the information shared here, you moron.

1k is a lot of money when on disability

It appears you can still try to login without Captcha for some users, for example

@Doktor-Apokalypse @bluemods Anyway, 75471620fdbb93061a11c1b31366479509b25022 created some problems so I committed 657ac09c9a7b34e488acda28efa5c89a35ae50e4. Now, you can solve the CAPTCHA using a browser and the API works nicely:

To continue, complete the captcha in this URL using a browser: https://captcha.kik.com/?id=3-CAISoQFrYysZg8XXEtOCv46jpdyGUAK.....
Next, intercept the request starting with 'https://kik.com/captcha-url' using F12, and paste the response parameter here: eyJraWQi.......m5Q

Usernames are 2 characters minimum though, so I'm not sure the first example is valid. I appreciate you checking it out though. I will probably adapt this into my repo and submit a PR back soon

[tomer8007]

@bluemods Oh, yeah, this is a better explanation, so you can forget about my first claim.

[Doktor-Apokalypse]

thanks guys. this helped a lot. got connection now. still locks up after solving captcha, but just restarting the script logs me in fine now.

OK. Adding #37 and #59 for reference.

[tomer8007]

Closing this issue because the reported error does not happen anymore and the captcha is understandable,
