Anyone else having issues with HTTP error 403?

Open GreatOldOne opened this issue 7 years ago • 19 comments

Only like and dislike are giving me those, they aren't working at all, but everything else is. I tried debugging the Tinder client on a new installation with a new Facebook account and with a different IP address and even the official client is returning 403 for likes and dislikes.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

From more testing it seems to be some sort of block applied to new Facebook accounts. Not sure however whether it's caused by lack of friends or by the date the Facebook profile was created.

I would be interested to see if this changes with a Facebook account that is older than a day, older than a week. Keep us posted! Thank you.

Has everything been working fine with your primary Facebook account?

@brenly Yeah, but my main Facebook account is 2 years old and has 50 friends. My secondary Facebook account is now a day old and still getting 403 on like/dislike, superlike works though. However, it seems I'm the only person getting this. No one here using throwaway Facebook accounts for Tinder?

@GreatOldOne I am getting 403 as well, I'm able to login as well and the account I'm using is also a throwaway account but it is pretty nicely aged. Also, I'm able to superlike as well but like throws a 403.

@kkai4u How old is the account? Does it have any friends? Is the email from a throwaway service or from a large company such as Gmail?

@GreatOldOne It's using a throwaway mail, I'm able to log into my facebook. It's about a month old at least in my case.

Does it have any friends?

GreatOldOne avatar Aug 13 '17 14:08 GreatOldOne

75 friends and 300+ pending requests.

Hmmm... I wonder if it's related to your email. If you don't mind, could you tell me the email domain for this account?

GreatOldOne avatar Aug 13 '17 14:08 GreatOldOne

I logged into the account and tried swiping a few people, yours and my account are probably already flagged. I swiped a person who had superliked me and it did not show the person in my matches.

kkai4u avatar Aug 13 '17 14:08 kkai4u

The block is as soon as you create the account, so it's automatic. Since you've friends and it's a month old, it leaves us with the email address. Would need to know the domain you are using for your throwaway to compare against mine (my main account which works fine is from Gmail).

GreatOldOne avatar Aug 13 '17 14:08 GreatOldOne

The email address is a garbage one, ktlhqge.xyz

kkai4u avatar Aug 13 '17 14:08 kkai4u

That's probably it, my throwaways were from disposable emails. I'm a bit busy right now, could you try creating a Facebook account with a newly created Gmail account and see if you still get 403?

GreatOldOne avatar Aug 13 '17 14:08 GreatOldOne

Yup, tried with a throwaway Gmail account and it worked. Sigh Tinder... Why not ruin your product even further, now denying people with custom emails to use your app?

@GreatOldOne I end up with a ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded for some ids, is it because of my proxies or some other reason?

kkai4u avatar Aug 13 '17 17:08 kkai4u

Never had it, I need to know what data you are receiving from the server for me to be able to figure it out. In theory proxies could cause it by either corrupting the data or by sending something else to you instead.

Hi, Im having this problem as well but I am using a real phone number with a real sim card when I make the facebook account..

Anyone else is having this issue even with fb accounts registered with gmail emails?
