Need to update login detection: "cookie already expired or invalid"

[connerbanner]

I just got this issue and cant seem to fix it on my own.

I saw another similar issue that got fixed with updating python and tried that to nothing.

Ive updated python

Ive logged out and re logged in to my pixiv account and it generates a new cookie code but even with that its still says its expired

Ive pasted that new generated code on a new and old version of PixivUtil2 several times to no luck

1st time this has happened in like a year of using this program

I'm at a lost

[bluerthanever]

Did you try this one?

yes ive been doing that over and over but each slightly new cookie value is still expired

[bluerthanever]

Can you please tell us the version you are using, and the error details?

[connerbanner]

oops thought i adding that in

and that might be a old one but i still tired on the newest version and put in JUST the code without my account pass and stuff

still 1st thing it tells me is that its expired...

[bluerthanever]

hmm... I think this is maybe because the "https://www.pixiv.net" and "https://accounts.pixiv.net/login" pages are changed.

[bluerthanever]

Could anyone please provide the page source of "https://www.pixiv.net" and "https://accounts.pixiv.net/login" ? I can login or login with saved cookie just fine... and you mentioned that pixiv updated and stuff. so I just wanna have a look into this...

[Romangelo]

I guess they made some change to the site. I've been using it just fine, until I close the software and relaunch it today.

Edit: I tried with my alt. account and it's working fine. It looks like not all users are getting the updated version of the site.

I have the same problem and PHPSESSID does not help.
But when I created a new account PHPSESSID earned ...

It doesn't work for me either, here is the source for accounts.pixiv.net, hope this is what is needed.

Login _ pixiv_files.zip

Sorry, I should have been more specific on my request. That was not what I wanted. Can you do as follows and tell me the result instead?

1. Go to your browser, then go to "https://www.pixiv.net/", and make sure you are logged in.
2. Get the page source (you can do this by using developer tools or other ways, but try avoiding using save page to local and then open it)
3. Try looking for "logout.php" and "pixiv.user.loggedIn = true", and see if you get any result for each.

This is how the util tells if you are logged in and your PHPSESSID works.
If the site is updated on your side, maybe the two strings would not be found, so that your util doesn't work.

(Unless the page the util gets and you view from your browser are not the same.)

AND, if you can't find those two strings, and IF you can read the source, and find out how you can tell by some string like "pixiv.user.loggedIn = true" in it to tell if you are logged in, please tell as well.

[Shagiakhmetov]

3. Try looking for "logout.php" and "pixiv.user.loggedIn = true", and see if you get any result for each.

I could not find the lines you specified, but in the page code I see the following lines

<script>'use strict';var dataLayer = [{login: 'yes',gender: "male",user_id: "9473900",lang: "en",illustup_flg: 'not_uploaded',premium: 'yes',}];</script>
Perhaps they can show that the authorization was successful

[Terryble2]

I've done the same as above, those strings are not present anywhere in the HTML. As Shagiakhmetov mentioned there are 2 script tags which contain some information about the logged in user. I've quoted them both below.

<script>
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-1830249-3']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'pixiv.net']);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 1, 'login', 'yes', 3]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 3, 'plan', 'normal', 1]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 5, 'gender', 'male', 1]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 6, 'user_id', "3145410", 1]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 11, 'lang', "en", 1]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 12, 'illustup_flg', 'not_uploaded', 3]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 13, 'user_id_per_pv', "3145410", 3]);
_gaq.push(['_setCustomVar', 27, 'p_ab_d_id', "1828365849", 3]);
</script>

<script>
'use strict';
var dataLayer = [{ login: 'yes', gender: "male", user_id: "3145410", lang: "en", illustup_flg: 'not_uploaded', premium: 'no', }];
</script>

To @Shagiakhmetov @Terryble2
Thank you guys. I can find pixiv.user.loggedIn = true and those you have mentioned as well....
That's weird.
@Nandaka, do you have any idea...? Do you think we should update logic to check these strings as well?

[connerbanner]

So I don't know what any of the stuff you guys are talking about mean on a program-e level but im guessing form the sounds of it, this is a issue that might get fixed with an update and not something that can be fixed in my desktop? Just want to know whats up.

[Terryble2]

@connerbanner Yes, the Pixiv website has been updated so until a fix comes out in a new release it won't work.

[connerbanner]

@Terryble2 damn hope it wont take long, its already been like 4 days and lifes already not the same without it. Over 1,176 profiles downloaded that its basically become routine to search the boorus, find the artists and download their profiles. Now without it do I realize that "damn I really don't do much else huh?" Godspeed PixivUtil2.

added additional validation on latest commit. I will upload beta version later.

[Shagiakhmetov]

I will upload beta version later.

Good afternoon.

Unfortunately, the error persists ... I attached a log with the parameter "loglevel = INFO" and a screenshot with the parameter "debughttp = True"

pixivutil.log

[Nandaka]

updated in https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2/releases/tag/v20200404-beta2, can you try it?

[Shagiakhmetov]

can you try it?

Thanks.
Now everything is working.

[Terryble2]

@Nandaka Works perfectly, thank you!

@Nandaka Huzzah, the fog has lifted!
