AxiosError: Request failed with status code 426 about truecallerjs

[PalmerMontalvo]

@PalmerMontalvo Your old phone number still don't work 2 days after this? #32 (comment)

Still doesn't work.

[RabbitFored]

Here is a considerable amount of data I managed to process:

Accounts tested : 218

Success - 114
Failed  - 104
  -> Unauthorized : 21
  -> Too many requests : 0
  -> Status [426] : 83

83 out of 218 installation IDs ( each of individual phone number ) get status code 426.

But these accounts worked before few days.

[RabbitFored]

I too face the same issue.

I think this issue is similar to #23

[RabbitFored]

I get this error:

MY CODE:

import { createRequire } from 'module';
const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);
var truecallerjs = require("truecallerjs");

var search_data = {
  number: "9912345678",
  countryCode: "IN",
  installationId: "a1i0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxtMb8",
};

var response = await truecallerjs.search(search_data);
console.log(response.json());

[RabbitFored]

UPDATE:

When I try it with your python module truecallerpy it gives differerent output as:

{'errorCode': 401, 'errorMessage': 'Your previous login was expired.', 'data': None}

when I tried with new installation ID it worked fine

Any idea on why these two modules show different output?

And also I tested truecallerjs with expired installation ID, it gives Unauthorized 403 as usual. But code 426 is unusual

[RabbitFored]

wait what https://github.com/sumithemmadi/truecallerpy/blob/7749987f99374262b777bbf9b86097dcdb8c67b1/truecallerpy/app.py#L117
👀

same error in truecallerpy too after removing that lines
{'status': 42601, 'message': 'Client must be upgraded'}

even curl return same response:

curl -A "Truecaller/12.15.6 (Android;10)" -H authorization:\ Bearer\ a1i0I--gxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxsjtHSf https://search5-noneu.truecaller.com/v2/search?q=1234567890\&countryCode=IN\&type=4\&encoding=json

{'status': 42601, 'message': 'Client must be upgraded'}

Is there any validity period for installationIDs?
And I tried to login with same phone number and got new installationID that too didnt work, got same response

[PalmerMontalvo]

@RabbitFored I just took a brand new phone number that I had never used before and this error did not occur. Most likely, the numbers are also checked for the amount of uses

[RabbitFored]

@PalmerMontalvo Your old phone number still don't work 2 days after this?

[PalmerMontalvo]

I also noticed that when generating keys using completely new numbers, 426 errors are also returned. Something might be wrong with the key generation phase.

"Client must be upgraded," implies that the server requires the client to upgrade its protocol or version. It could be a problem with the HTTP version or the Truecaller version.

According to the error message, it is using HTTP version 1.1, but it doesn't specify the exact version to upgrade. The same HTTP version 1.1 works on my PC, but I don't know why it's not working on yours.

To troubleshoot the issue, you can try using different Node.js version or different device or different networks, I just want to know if the problem is with your pc or nodejs version or truecallerjs code . See if the same error persists, and please let me know.

[RabbitFored]

If it is about http version then why only some selective accounts (all tested in same pc) get this error?

Yeah, I tested with truecallerpy and curl both showed same response ( code 426 ), but if I use other installation ID it works fine. Only some ( 82 of 218 tested ) accounts get this error.

[RabbitFored]

Any update on this issue?
@sumithemmadi

[sumithemmadi]

Can you log in to the Truecaller app with the phone numbers that failed while logging in with Truecallerjs ?

[PalmerMontalvo]

@sumithemmadi , yes but Truecaller app shows popup "Your account is temporarily blocked" and then you need to go through google captcha.

[RabbitFored]

Yeah, I too get something like this while I login using official Truecaller app.
