Error testing the example provided in the documentation

[jabrena]

Hi,

I am testing your library with the example from the project:

Code:

public class BardDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AIClient client = new GoogleBardClient("MY_TOKEN");
        Answer answer = client.ask("What is the date today?");
    }
}

but I don´t understand the following error:

17:31:59.717 [BardDemo.main()] INFO com.pkslow.ai.util.WebUtils -- Creating OkHttpClient with timeout PT5M
17:32:00.011 [BardDemo.main()] INFO com.pkslow.ai.util.WebUtils -- OkHttpClient created

I am using this version of your project:

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.pkslow/google-bard

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.pkslow</groupId>
            <artifactId>google-bard</artifactId>
            <version>0.3.3</version>
        </dependency>

Can you help me?

Many thanks in advance

There's some change for the auth on Google Bard side. working on this to find a better solution.

[jabrena]

Oki, tell me when I can test again the library

[LarryDpk]

open bard with incognito mode and get the token again can work for a short time. now Google makes the token expire soon.

[jabrena]

I will try today

Hi,

I tried again but it didn´t work using the approach to open an annonimous browser:

Example:
https://github.com/jabrena/spring-boot-user-beans/blob/be736d0af419a749724da3f3a54174434b8fe916/spring-boot-starter-user-beans/src/test/java/io/github/jabrena/GoogleBardTest.java

From this issue acheong08/Bard#68 (comment) we can see:
Bard now requires 3 different types of cookies __Secure-1PAPISID, __Secure-1PSIDTS, __Secure-1PSIDCC and one of them is rotated every 20 mins. This makes the whole implementation becomes impossible.

I will add more cookies and try. But Bard is making more restriction.

Oki, if you have the Curl requests, I could test from my side in Spain.

Strange, it's ok for me. Reloign incognito mode and get the new token:

Successful call:

[estebangarciaalonso]

It worked the first time as you said and then it stopped working...

[LarryDpk]

can't do anything due to Google Bard Limit

[LarryDpk]

Now it needs two cookies, please use latest version
