Error on first run

[stephen-bidchat]

I passed the credentials as mentioned in the documentation and encountered the following error. I'm hosting this on the us-central1-c region of Google Cloud.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ubuntu/test.py", line 11, in <module>
    ai = MetaAI(fb_email="[email protected]", fb_password="xxxxxxx")

KeyError: "name='xs', domain=None, path=None"

Please assist.

I tried to debug this issue and found the following:

• URL https://mbasic.facebook.com/login/ return temporarily blocked.
• Which leads to not getting the hidden field values.
• Also, I think it prevents from executing https://mbasic.facebook.com/login/device-based/regular/login/?refsrc=deprecated&lwv=100
• Also, the response cookies are not available in the session.cookies.

Workaround:

• Manually login to the site using the URL https://mbasic.facebook.com/login/ (The block page was not showing) from the Chrome browser
• Copy the values of the cookies and hardcode them in the utils.py
• The values to be hard coded in def get_fb_session(...):

    lsd = ""
    jazoest = ""
    li = ""
    m_ts = ""
    datr = ""
    sb = ""
    xs = ""
    fr = ""
    c_user = ""

The above workaround works, but the only problem is having to manually set those values.

@Strvm Please check if these can be fixed.

Hi, the fact that you are running it on GCP is probably the issue. Meta is most likely blocking Datacenter IPs (to combat proxies). Either you host it somewhere else, or you can pass in your own proxies (while hoping they don't get blocked by Meta)

Hi, I spent some time today and fixed the login mechanism. Please upgrade to the latest version and try again on your end.

pip install meta-ai-api --upgrade

Example usage:

from meta_ai_api import MetaAI

ai = MetaAI(fb_email="EMAIL", fb_password="PASS")
resp = ai.prompt(message="Generate a flying corgi", stream=False)
print(resp)

Results to:
