Niantic Server responses changed. Can't catch pokemon or see pokestops

[TianCNCA]

EDIT from TheSavior:

It looks like the request structure has changed. Every bot, map, and 3rd party app is currently working to update.

Niantic changed their API. People are working on a fix but there is no ETA yet. If you want to know what changed read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongodev/comments/4w1cvr/pokemongo_current_api_status/

This happens to all my accounts including the ones I only use with the bot. Login from phone is fine, however.

but it seems like they may just be doing something to stop unofficial api calls...

[sparshgupta]

Happening for me as well

[djsly]

Same here.

[teehtheg]

seems to be a login issue ...

[kinvaris]

Happened for me as well in Europe. Seems to be like login servers are critical... Although I tried to login via my cellphone and it worked ...

[mjmadsen]

Same. On my other devices and non bot accounts too. Maybe they're under another DDoS.

[retraut]

Same here.
Provider Online.net

[borte]

Got in on my phone with google account.. PTC account is not working

[tvb]

Same for me. Europe. Google login

[ramonchk]

Same here.

[jomarocas]

is the server of pokemon or google login?

[mjmadsen]

Looks like both Google and PTC logins.

[retraut]

@mjmadsen seems both

[borte]

Seems to be working from Norway. Not working from my box in Frankfurt

[jomarocas]

but i can enter in pokemon from the app in android, but for the bot i cannot enter

[AcorpBG]

can't login either web login to pokemon.com works They may have put additional security

[djsly]

probably roll updating the servers accepting the connections across the different countries.

[retraut]

Working from Ukraine on Android

[MatthewBCooke]

The app says they're down: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/server-status-for-pokemon-go/id1135239143?mt=8

[tvb]

Fixed for me; see http://ispokemongodownornot.com/

[chinmaygupta28]

Fixed.

[kinvaris]

Fixed

[Kassadd]

Same, fixed!

[borte]

Here too

[MatthewBCooke]

Google is back up, PTC still having issues

[TianCNCA]

Seems to be fixed. Closing this thread in 10 minutes if nothing is up.

[riseno]

can login back to server. cheers~

[TianCNCA]

Hmm, bot is not picking up any pokeshop or pokemon. I'm suspecting the bot is finally banned.

[Lihouf]

I need to make a maj on my phone

[djsly]

its not walking for me though

[OniZakuma]

Probably not the same here, but in another game that used Unity, the variable they suddenly start to check was the Hash, python code:

def calculateMD5Hash(self, input):
        return hashlib.md5("%s%s%s" % (self.HashPassword, int(self.user_id), int(input))).hexdigest()

input = time.time()

anyway, a "good" way to make it is using:
time (always changing)
user_id (different per player)
password (something "secret", could be found in the .unity files, from a web client).

[nmanpkr]

There is a thread on reddit with people trying to figure out "unkown6" in the api

[nmanpkr]

Looks like they got it fixed. https://m.reddit.com/r/pokemongodev/comments/4w1cvr/pokemongo_current_api_status/?utm_source=mweb_redirect&compact=false

[samuelfernando13]

Same for me, Indonesia

[MastroV8]

Do we know when this will be resolved?

[Anginer]

Never

[brantje]

Don't post lies here @Anginer, they are on it (for about 48+hours straight) so you might want to show them some respect.

[fari-99]

@MastroV8 well, as @brantje said, they are on it. btw come on, why you not see this first before asking?

[Anginer]

@brantje It was only joking, job done here is really awesome and I respect that

[snicoft]

Why we don't make another way for pgbot, for example support nox player using framework make bot inside nox player, try recognize pokestop pokemon gym etc with framework , just like ingress auto glyph recognize patern, and implement it. Sorry im not programmer just won to share idea.

[BobbyWibowo]

@snicoft Because it's better to finish the API research which already had a considerable amount of progress instead of coding that from scratch?

[jrjhealey]

Thought this might be interesting.

[inzaghi89]

So there might be no future for bots...

[thxmxx]

It's dons
https://github.com/keyphact/pgoapi

[lchen-24]

so what do we do? reinstall requirements.txt?

[fari-99]

@lukeyanchen i think we should wait for PR to updated the api.

[PlanetoftheMapes]

Yes, there'll be a PR coming. Naturally anyone who has a job or lives in the US will be silly to post a PR from a non-throwaway github account, possibly from behind a proxy if they're feeling particularly paranoid. 😉

[fari-99]

@PlanetoftheMapes and people already posting issue for using the api or the bot. lol.

[PlanetoftheMapes]

lol, expect PR's to come for mapping purposes first..

[imvikash00]

So, is the bot working becoz README says it's working? Bit confused!

[imvikash00]

Confirmed it's working perfectly!
Yipeee!!!!

[elicwhite]

Closing this issue as the bot works now. You need to force a pip reinstall to get the new pgoapi and you will also need to download encrypt.so or encrypt.dll (depending on your platform) from the internet. We are not currently providing those as part of this repo.
