Quizduell v1.8.0 User-Agent

[CrushedPixel]

When starting a random match using this API, the Server returns the following JSON:

{u'link_title': u'Updaten!', u'google_play_verification': True, u'skip': True, u'popup_title': u'Neue Version verf\xfcgbar!', u'link': u'market://details?id=se.feomedia.quizkampen.de.lite', u'popup_mess': u'Eine neue und bessere Version ist verf\xfcgbar. Du musst sie updaten, um spielen zu k\xf6nnen.'}

Does the user_agent variable in the API have to be updated, or is it something else?
I have already decompiled the new APK, but can't find the new user-agent String hardcoded somewhere. Where can I find it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ChrushedPixel,

it seems to be a new bot prevention mechanism at play. May I ask what you are planning to use the API for?

Hi, congrats to this amazing API!
I have rewritten it for python3 with the requests library and also managed to persist the cookies. Now it runs perfectly!

But unfortunately I am having the same problem too. The first thing I've done was changing the version in the user agent, but it had no effect.
Is there any solution for this, yet? Would be really great!

Hi Pete-42,

a new access prevention mechanism seems to be in place based on Google Play validation. You would need to change the app token or simulate the Google Play validation based on your Google account in order to circumvent this.
