Login cookie issue (update user agent to fix)

[cocokakao]

I reinstalled it.
I logged in and replaced the cookie, but the same phrase came out.

Trying to log in with saved cookie

pixivutil.log
I'm having the same issue. I attached my own log with my login censored.

The login request to https://www.pixiv.net/en/ is failing:

Edit: Use solution by Nanoka if you're not running from source

A temporary workaround is to modify PixivBrowserFactory.py loginUsingCookie method to:

• Load the cookie
• Set self._myId (just hardcode it, it's temporary anyway)
• Set self._isPremium
• Return true directly without sending the request.

Other functionalities (fanbox login, download) seems to be working atm.

[biggestsonicfan]

Wow I was just using it moments ago, if you had the utility still running, it would work, but now it won't.

[matsumotokenji]

same getting HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

[Nanoka]

maybe related to #1209 as the solution i found that time seems to work now as well
change the useragent string to just "Mozilla/5.0" and it should work (try again if it fails)

[gnarf1975]

Doesn't work for me

[Nanoka]

Doesn't work for me

is your config.ini set exactly like this:

useragent = Mozilla/5.0

which version are you running? did you try launching a new instance after the failed attempt? are you using proxy?

Best answer! Worth to be highlighted

[DisasterInbound]

I can also confirm it worked. I deleted the rest of the text, I only kept Mozilla/5.0 and I logged in this time

[Osprey-Hawk]

Can confirm. Worked perfectly. I tested it prior to modifying the INI and it had the error. With the change it had no issues.

[Uraratan]

[Network]
useProxy = False
proxyAddress =
useragent = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.124 Safari/537.36
useRobots = True
timeout = 60
retry = 3
retryWait = 5
downloadDelay = 2
checkNewVersion = True
notifyBetaVersion = True
openNewVersion = True
enableSSLVerification = True

is what default settings is i guess ?

[dragontamer8740]

Setting user-agent to just Mozilla/5.0 works.

To see the default settings you can either look in the source code or delete/rename your INI file and then let the program recreate it.

works

[na3i09]

Changing user-agent doesn't work for me while running from source on linux. Still get the 403 error.

[PatrickL546]

@na3i09 "useragent = Mozilla/5.0" did you use that? if so, idk other workaround

[na3i09]

@na3i09 "useragent = Mozilla/5.0" did you use that? if so, idk other workaround

yeah, no dice when using the source version.

[Nanoka]

Changing user-agent doesn't work for me while running from source on linux. Still get the 403 error.

Try changing https://www.pixiv.net/en to https://www.pixiv.net in PixivBrowserFactory.py line 347:
https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2/blob/master/PixivBrowserFactory.py#L347

With this it may work without changing the user agent.

[anon1593]

For those who have tried both and still have issues, Go to pixiv.net, log out, log back in, and replace the cookie in config.ini with the newly generated one.
That finally got it working again for the moment.
There seems to be a deeper issue going on.

[elina7]

useragent = Mozilla / 5.0 is not work
useragent = Mozilla/5.0 is working

[capSAR273]

I still cannot log in using the session cookie and the proper user agent.

[PatrickL546]

Created a pull request #1281 Hopefully fixes http:403 forbidden and people's confusion

[JojoWalks]

MAN, this thread is making zero sense to me. I cant keep up

Hi, please kindly stop posting non-constructive comments that disturbs everyone subscribed to this issue or repo.

Also, I would appreciate it if you can stop downvoting a solution that has expired for nearly a year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I've already pointed out that you should use the solution by Nanoka, which worked very well. My automation script run twice a day and never fails since I switched to that solution.

[AndrewHack242]

I'm having this issue now, just pulled main down to try to fix it, but it is persisting. I've logged out and back in to re-aquire my cookie from firefox multiple times but it continues to give me this error.

I had the thought that I may be populating the cookie incorrectly, but if I change the last character to make it invalid I get a different error:

Error at doLogin(): (<class 'mechanize._response.get_seek_wrapper_class.<locals>.httperror_seek_wrapper'>, <httperror_seek_wrapper (urllib.error.HTTPError instance) at 0x7f5785b98d40 whose wrapped object = <HTTPError 302: 'The HTTP server returned a redirect error that would lead to an infinite loop.\nThe last 30x error message was:\nFound'>>, <traceback object at 0x7f5785b3a000>)

mechanize._response.get_seek_wrapper_class.<locals>.httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 302: The HTTP server returned a redirect error that would lead to an infinite loop.
The last 30x error message was:
Found

So it seems like my cookie is correct and then something else is causing it to fail.

I have tried both
useragent = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:129.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/129.0
which was copied out of my browser and
useragent = Mozilla/5.0
to no avail

Nandaka, on pixiv fanbox i keep etting this

@Uraratan This is an issue for Pixiv logins, not Fanbox. Your issue is a duplicate of #1361 and #1371. I suggest searching through existing issues before simply posting under a pinned issue.
