Captcha error when logging in

Open gael-honorez-para opened this issue 1 year ago • 13 comments

Hi,

I cannot login anymore from the python API, because if this:

substack.exceptions.SubstackAPIException: APIError(code=401): Please complete the captcha to continue

I don't have any captcha when logging with username et password from a browser, so I guess this API is detected as a potential bot (well it is but...)

sorry to hear that everyone... they have probably taken some action to prevent the programmatic login, but I don't have the time right now to look into it.

Same here. This makes it unfortunatelly impossible to use the package.
