expired token

[alexislg2]

Hey.
For few days now I receive this errors:
code: 401, reason: Unauthorized, response:{u'status': {u'code': 11001, u'description': u'Invalid authentication token', u'details': u'expired token'}}

I think the reason is because my token is expired. Indeed I save the clarifaiApp and modelvariables because it takes too long to initialize (at least 5 seconds).

Is there any workaround to avoid initializing the token for every photo I want to process?

Hi @alexislg2

Definitely it's not taking a new token every time you process a photo. I am suspecting you are instantializing the client every time you process a photo?

Could you paste me your code snippet how you use our api?

Thanks,
Robert

Here is my code:

# This is called only when program starts
from clarifai.rest import ClarifaiApp
clarifaiApp = ClarifaiApp(app_id="CLARIFAI_APP_ID", app_secret="CLARIFAI_KEY")
clarifai_model_sfw = clarifaiApp.models.get("nsfw-v1.0")

def checkSFW(url):
    # This is called only when we process a picture
    try:
        concept = clarifai_model_sfw.predict_by_url(url)["outputs"][0]["data"]["concepts"][0]
        score = concept["value"]
        sfw_rate = score if concept["name"] == "sfw" else 1-score
        if (sfw_rate > 0.15):
            return True
        return False
    except:
        return True

@robertwenquan is my code OK?
With this code I receive "Expired token" errors after ~24h.

Did clarifai changed anything in their API? I did not get these errors one month ago

[robertwenquan]

@alexislg2 token is expected to expire. That's for the consideration of security in case the token is compromised. However, it's automatically managed by the client so you don't have to worry about it. The code looks fine to me. Ohh, maybe it's the warning issue introduced in the recent version? It's just a warning and your code should run fine. Because the token is refreshed automatically. Did you see your code actually failed or did you just see this error ?

No it raises an exception :

Oh sorry to hear that. If that is the case I will fix it today.

@robertwenquan Any news on this?

could this be the same reason why your website demo is not working? https://clarifai.com/demo

[robertwenquan]

@alexislg2 this bug has been fixed in v2.0.20
please take your time to upgrade the client.

The demo outage is not relevant to this issue. It's because of an overuse of our demo that exhaused our api quota.

I am closing this issue as this is fixed. Thanks again for reporting it
