Authentication Issue

Open m-bilal-dev9 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

I'm facing an authentication issue when I used to make a google alert after every minute. Seems like google revoke my access and stopped results from google alert API. Does anyone face this issue? I've to renew my cookie in google-alert API to get everything to work fine. It's a really panic issue for me when it automatically stops on my website and stopped results showing on site. Your help and concern are needed!

I made a cron job that runs after 1 minute and collects results from Google, when it reaches almost 2500+ results it starts throwing an error of authentication.

Apparently, it's not the npm module problem itself, as it works for given time period. I don't know how the Google Alerts works under the hood, unfortunately.

My suggestion is to check how does the browser behaves in a given circumstance. What I mean by that is to:

  1. Once you face the issue, copy all the cookies (SID, HSID, SSID) from your app.
  2. Open Google Alerts in a browser
  3. Replace current session cookie values with the ones specified in step 1.
  4. Try performing some operation (create, read) on an alert.
  5. Observe
