Struggling with token

[wqqdwqdwwasdwa]

Ill copy the token from developer mode and put it into the manual solver api token but it continues to say its expired no matter how many times I do it

[phamleduy04]

if you are using codespace maybe they are blocking codespace ips. Please try local method

[g3llo101]

What do you mean by the local method? I'm also having this same issue.

[Neilvanas]

I've been having a similar problem myself, running locally using the guide on installation page. Even tried using 'browser' as well as tried making the .env file in root project folder with HEADLESS=false, unless I mistakenly missed to name it something specific. Been at this for days now to no avail.

Any potential solutions?

[phamleduy04]

If you set headless = false does it open a browser when running the app?

[Neilvanas]

No, I'm afraid not. Is that what it's meant to do? It just does the text as pictured previously and prompts to try again. Hence why I thought maybe I made the .env wrong. Should it be titled anything specific? and should it just be the plain text of HEADLESS=false / headless = false in the file alone? I noticed the location of "at timeout" being in src\browser\index and noticed some mentions of headless there. Could there be any alterations I'm missing since creating the new .env?

[phamleduy04]

yeah, headless meant the browser open in background. Usually easier to get flag as bot and blocked.

You can use the command $env:HEADLESS = 'false' in powershell and try to npm run start again

[Neilvanas]

This actually worked! Spun up a browser like you said & after what felt like endless "Failed Captcha: Response False" errors on the website itself, finally booted up and let me pick out a few locations. Now I just hope this works for long enough to book something soon and not end up getting IP blocked or anything in case I need to run this again later, or on another day. Thank you so much for the help :)

Spins up the browser, idk why it selects Spanish and gives the msg same as "Failed Captcha: Response False" in Spanish. Then the cmd/powershell errors out with the same error as above in the picture shared by Neilvanas- " ERROR: Error while getting captcha token:". Please help @phamleduy04

I am using strategy:'solver' and got subscription on capsolver. But it is hitting continuously on capsolver but no luck on the booking

[phamleduy04]

Are you using codespace?

[niaduts]

No , using local vs code. Here are the steps I followed to solve this problem.
installed typescript using below command , even after i had typescript earlier, i had to rerun below command
npm install --save-dev ts-node typescript

But few other issues I found .

1. when I give the zip code 75454 and the miles range 30, it is showing
   McKinney
   North Garland Mega Center
   Plano
   Sherman
   Rockwall
   missing Bohnam , Carrollton mega center which are less than 30 miles.

• If your token is rejected, you shouldn't see the list of DPS since that request requires a valid token.

• The location list is based on the DPS API, usually based on availability and your serviceType code.

[niaduts]

also getting the below warnings regularly , is it expected ? and if it is for every 60 secs it get new captcha api and it deducts my credits ?

[phamleduy04]

Are you sure it's every 60 seconds? The token does expires but it should be every 5 minutes.

I could be wrong since the last time I checked was more than 6 months ago.

[niaduts]

I have updated it to check for 60 secs.
but my question is if we decrease this sleep rate to 5 sec, does it fetch the new api for every 5 sec and the charge will be added on capsolver ?
