How to acquire "BASIC_TOKEN"?

[Ravenwulf]

Ive read the README on your npm page and it doesnt explain how to acquire the basic token to set as an environment variable. I was hoping you could explain.

[MakeShiftArtist]

Sorry! I'll add that to the docs asap, but I do plan on creating proper example documentation for the entire wrapper at some point.
For now

const Client = require('ifunnynode');
const client = new Client();
const BASIC_TOKEN = client.basic_token;
console.log(BASIC_TOKEN) // 156 character basic token

Alternatively, you could copy the source code from src/utils/methods.js for create_basic_token and pass in the client_id and client_secret (which can be found in the Client source code) to generate basic tokens without using the Client getter

const BASIC_TOKEN = create_basic_token("client_id", "client_secret")

Thanks! I've encountered a new error now though. My code keeps erroring out with a code 401. Its not giving me the option to complete a captcha, and im certain that my email and password are correct. Do you have any idea how I can fix this? My code is a slightly edited version of the one from your example

[MakeShiftArtist]

Step by step:

1. Log your basic token and store it somewhere

import Client from "ifunnynode";

const client = new Client();

console.log(client.basic_token); // store this in a config file or environment variable

2. Pass the basic token into your Client's constructor and verify the token is stored in the client's cache

const client = new Client({
  basic: "BASIC_TOKEN_HERE"
});

console.log(client.basic_token) // should match the one passed into the constructor

3. Attempt a login, which will return a 401 captcha error.

try {
  await client.login({
    email: "your email",
    password: "your password"
  })
    
} catch (err) {
  if (err?.captcha_url) {
    console.log(err.captcha_url) // This is the URL you need to open in your browser.
  } else {
    throw err // NOT A CAPTCHA ERROR
  }
}

4. Using that captcha url, open it in the browser, and solve the captcha. You should just have to click a check box.
5. Attempt to log in again, but STORE YOUR BEARER TOKEN UPON LOGIN!

client.on("login", logged_in => {
  if (!logged_in) return

  console.log(client.bearer)
})

client.login({
  email: "your email",
  password: "your password"
})

6. Assuming you followed instructions, it should successfully log in and log your new bearer token. Now, you can use this token to interact with iFunny via the API.

const client = new Client({
  token: "YOUR BEARER TOKEN" // I recommend not hard coding it, but reading from a config file instead.
})

Or

const client = new Client();

client.login({
  token: "YOUR BEARER TOKEN"
})

From here, you should be able to access the entire API, using your bearer token. DO NOT share your bearer token with anyone. A bearer token has complete and total control over your account. Users can edit your account, upload and delete posts or comments, etc. A basic token isn't as dangerous, but you should definitely keep that private as well, as any account under that basic token can get "installation banned", meaning you'll need to create a new bearer token with a different basic token. Forcing you to repeat this process.

Thank you, this has been really helpful. When I attempt a login for the first time, the try block throws the non captcha error.
error: 'invalid_client', error_description: 'Malformed token: empty'
these two lines are near the end of the long error object and seem like they may be related. I can see that it received the proper email and password, so I have no clue what could be the reason that its not giving me the captcha url.

Sorry if this is annoying, I used to run a support server for discord.js v11 and 12, so I know what its like 😅

[MakeShiftArtist]

Oh interesting. Don't worry about you being annoying, it actually was pretty cool seeing someone use this on their own as this was my first real public project. I have a support-ish server which I need to add to the page's readme. But anyways, that's an issue with the API wrapper that I haven't seen yet, so I'll need to do some testing. It's likely due to a new update to their API. If you know how to check the latest iFunny version number, you can edit your user agent for the client like so

const client = new Client({
  user_agent: "NEW USER AGENT"
})

Otherwise, you'll have to wait until I'm back at my computer to figure out a fix. Sorry for the inconvenience! Will work on it ASAP

[Ravenwulf]

ok, i tried setting my user agent to iFunny/7.22(1129850) Android/12 (samsung; SM-G996U; samsung) but it doesnt seem to have changed the outcome

[MakeShiftArtist]

Ok, well I'm not sure what's causing that, so I'll start figuring out what's happening and fix it on the next update. Sorry I can't help sooner :/
You might want to make sure your stored basic token is being used when getting client.basic_token, cause malformed token empty makes me think it's not using the right basic auth. You can check that by logging the err.config.headers I believe

[insomnia-creator]

Hi, same error coming for me as well.

iFunny/7.22(1129850) Android/12 (samsung; SM-G996U; samsung)
User agent ^

  error_description: 'Malformed token: empty'

Logging in and everything!

This is my login code:

iClient.login({
    email: "",
    password: ''
}).then(res => {
    console.log(res);
}).catch(err => {
    if (err?.captcha_url) {
        // Open this url in the browser and solve it, then make the request again, using the same basic token
        console.log(err.captcha_url);
    } else {
        // NOT a CaptchaError
        throw err
    } 
})

And this is my client constructor

const iClient = new ifunny({
    basic: "basic token",
    user_agent: "iFunny/7.22(1129850) Android/12 (samsung; SM-G996U; samsung)    "
});

So how do I do stuff?

Sorry if I'm being stupid, been an angular nerd half my life.

Can someone help?

[MakeShiftArtist]

I'd recommend reading over the source code until I can create proper documentation to figure how to "do stuff" lol. There's a lot included with this wrapper, but not everything yet.

Because this is a separate issue from before, would you mind creating a new issue following the issue template for when I'm back at my computer?

[insomnia-creator]

This is the same issue OP is facing.

I will try at least.

You might want to make sure your stored basic token is being used when getting client.basic_token, cause malformed token empty makes me think it's not using the right basic auth. You can check that by logging the err.config.headers I believe

I logged err.config.headers and it gave me this:

{
  Accept: 'application/json,image/jpeg,image/webp,video/mp4',
  'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
  'Ifunny-Project-Id': 'iFunny',
  'User-Agent': 'iFunny/7.22(1129850) Android/12 (samsung; SM-G996U; samsung)',
  applicationstate: 1,
