Steps to Reproduce

1. Use any Fanbox functions

Expected behavior:
Fanbox downloads

Actual behavior:
Fanbox blocked

Log file:
pixivutil.log

I was just about to report this. I noticed this on my phone I think late last night where there was a captcha but wasn't sure why it was there then today discovered the downloader couldn't work because of it.

I enabled http debugging and this might provide more insight. This request gives an indicator that a CloudFlare challenge was given to be handled.

(Reposted with new gist -- removed fanbox session id)

[biggestsonicfan]

Theoretically, this will probably just be temporary and resolve itself on it's own, going away after "whatever" it is that needed Cloudflare captchas is over.

[shinji257]

Luckily this only impacts Fanbox. Downloads from Pixiv still work fine.

If this doesn't get removed, I have a local version now that is able to load the cf_clearance and __cf_bm cookies copied from a browser that has bypassed the check, which works as long as you mirror the user-agent of that browser in config.ini. I doubt those cookies would stay valid between download sessions for very long but at I was at least able to update rips of all my paid accounts through pixivutil once I copied them over.

Thanks for this work around. I was also able to download my supported fanbox users by adding those two cookies to my config and then using them in the fanboxLoginUsingCookie function in my local copy.

If you have a VPN you can set it for a Japanese IP and it will bypass Cloudflare captchas. I was able to download with no issues once I changed locations.

How do you add the other cookies to the config? Right now there is only the cookieFanbox value that is the FANBOXSESSID.

They're not currently supported/added by main branch, I had to add them in and also edit the cookie loading function to allow adding in a cookie value beyond the session id, as the current method resets the cookie jar on use and only sets that one cookie type. I just knew about these being a thing from my work with gallery-dl code so I knew that as long as you match those and the user-agent you can often bypass those captcha checks at least in the short term.

Is this still needed? I wasn't getting any Cloudflare when accessing from my location anymore.

For reference, the way I did it for my local copy is noted below. Pretty hacky IMO, but it was working when I was still getting Cloudflare for Fanbox. This only adds the cookies for Fanbox, not Pixiv.

1. Add the below 2 entries under the Authentication header in the config.ini

[Authentication]
cf_clearance = <cf_clearance COOKIE FROM BROWSER>
cf_bm = <__cf_bm COOKIE FROM BROWSER>

2. Add the below two lines in the class PixivConfig() in the __items array in PixivConfig.py to load those into the _config for use in later

ConfigItem("Authentication", "cf_clearance", ""),
ConfigItem("Authentication", "cf_bm", ""),

3. Add the below to use these cookies in the fanboxLoginUsingCookie function in PixivBrowserFactory.py

if self._config.cf_clearance != "":
    ck1 = http.cookiejar.Cookie(version=0, name='cf_clearance', value=self._config.cf_clearance, port=None,
                                port_specified=False, domain='fanbox.cc', domain_specified=False,
                                domain_initial_dot=False, path='/', path_specified=True,
                                secure=False, expires=None, discard=True, comment=None,
                                comment_url=None, rest={'HttpOnly': None}, rfc2109=False)
    self.addCookie(ck1)
if self._config.cf_bm != "":
    ck2 = http.cookiejar.Cookie(version=0, name='__cf_bm', value=self._config.cf_bm, port=None,
                                port_specified=False, domain='fanbox.cc', domain_specified=False,
                                domain_initial_dot=False, path='/', path_specified=True,
                                secure=False, expires=None, discard=True, comment=None,
                                comment_url=None, rest={'HttpOnly': None}, rfc2109=False)
    self.addCookie(ck2)

[shinji257]

Yes. I'm still getting the cloudflare challenge here when using the default build. If I VPN to Japan the challenge is subverted.

Thanks for this. I added this code to my local copy and it works now.

[usernameisalreadytakendammit]

Sry, I'm new to this
at what line do you have to add code 3? because when I try it, i still get

in fanboxLoginUsingCookie
if '"user":{"isLoggedIn":true' in str(parsed.decode('utf-8')):
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'. Did you mean: 'encode'?
Unknown Error, please check the log file: (<class 'AttributeError'>, AttributeError("'str' object has no attribute 'decode'"), <traceback object at 0x0000017D42965BC0>)

[usernameisalreadytakendammit]

guess im doing something wrong cuz its not working for me :c

[biggestsonicfan]

The above instructions worked for me. Let's try not to flood the issue with overly large quotes.

Someone could make a temporary fork with the code, unless @Nandaka decides to integrate this upstream somehow.

[Nandaka]

@biggestsonicfan sure, just send me a pull request 😄

[FriedGenera]

@biggestsonicfan I'm getting the same error as @usernameisalreadytakendammit after pulling the latest commit, I checked the cookies were correct and my useragent is the same as my browser

[HetareKing]

@FriedGenera
@usernameisalreadytakendammit
I had the same problem until I made my user agent more complete. So, for example, not just Mozilla/5.0, but Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0

Edit: Also, make sure it's the Fanbox cookies, not the Pixiv cookies.

[Zombie10]

Mozilla/5.0, but Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0

@HetareKing I did what you say, still not working.

[usernameisalreadytakendammit]

Because its the last day of the month and time was running out but i still couldnt get that script to work, as a last ditch effort, i used urban vpn to get a japanese ip for free. That was the only way for me to get it to work :c

[biggestsonicfan]

I'm thinking the check shouldn't be a string compare anymore but maybe a json decode and checks for keys. Lemme see what I can do. It won't fix the issue, but it won't crash the program anymore and we can properly handle the error.

EDIT: So the error appears to be happening here:

PixivUtil2/PixivBrowserFactory.py

Lines 204 to 215 in f09af10

	while True:
	res = None
	try:
	res = self.open(url, data, timeout)
	return res
	except urllib.error.HTTPError:
	if res is not None:
	print(f"Error Code: {res.code}")
	print(f"Response Headers: {res.headers}")
	if res.code == '302':
	print(f"Redirect to {res.headers['location']}")
	raise

self.open ends up with an urllib.error.HTTPError however since res is equal to None type, there's no error to print.

EDIT2: Ah, of course, we're getting a HTTP Error 403: Forbidden, as expected. I think we can handle that.

EDIT3: Graceful handling of the Cloudflare CAPTCHA challenge failures should be handled in #1345.

[fireattack]

I had the same problem until I made my user agent more complete. So, for example, not just Mozilla/5.0, but Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0

People use useragent = Mozilla/5.0 to workaround another block Pixiv has on login.
Indeed, if I change it to my full UA, I failed very early at doLogin() with "Cannot Login!".

Now, keeping it as-is, and added cf_clearance and cf_bm cookies in config, I still can't download fanbox just like @Zombie10

[localappdata]

Using @biggestsonicfan's PR:
Failed FANBOX Cloudflare CAPTCHA challenge, please check your cookie and user-agent settings.

cf_clearance and cf_bm both set to cf_clearance and __cf_bm values, checked PHPSESSID, should I change the UA as well? It's still Mozilla/5.0 here.

Edit: Changed the UA to my browser's full UA, Fanbox now works again. Thanks!

(Might want to update the version shown by the way, it's still using 20230105.)

Edit2: Beam resets every hour which triggers the captcha again and both cookie values have to be set again manually or the user will run into the above error.

[MarqFJA87]

I cannot find the cf_clearance cookie at all. Where is it supposed to be found?

EDIT: Found it using the developer tools. Doesn't work, though. And changing my UA results in an immediate failure to login at all.

[gnarf1975]

Can you please write occasionally in a way that non-experts can understand?
Or how about a proper update after all this time?
Because not everyone knows about this stuff.

Thanks

[MarqFJA87]

@localappdata

Edit: Changed the UA to my browser's full UA, Fanbox now works again. Thanks!

How did you avoid having the Pixiv login failure that would result from using the full UA?

[biggestsonicfan]

Can you move your logs to a different folder (or clear them if you're okay with that) and send me a fresh log of just trying to download one fanbox item? You can remove your id or anything else in the log you don't want others to see but I'm curious if there's anything else in there that will help me figure this out. I cannot reproduce this.

[MarqFJA87]

Here you go.

I think I found the problem. Lol. We are all using the Python interpreter to run PixivUtil2.py. I had no idea running PixivUtil2.exe would attempt to try to execute scripts in the same directory.

Executing PixivUtil2.exe in the same directory as the up-to-date master python scripts does indeed throw the same error you are getting.

Wait, what??? Then what am I supposed to execute, then?!

[nomakewan]

Wait, what??? Then what am I supposed to execute, then?!

Hey there! Remember when I told you...

You are wading into a technical discussion on github regarding python source code, FYI.

I was not joking. You are supposed to be executing PixivUtil2.py directly. As an example, on Windows you could use WinPython to give yourself the appropriate libraries and binaries, and then open PixivUtil2.py using python.exe.

[MarqFJA87]

I got this error when I tried to execute directly from the command prompt UI.

What do I do now?

[nomakewan]

You should not be cluttering this issue with basic Python troubleshooting questions that are wholly unrelated to PixivUtil2 and the recent Cloudflare transition.

However, I will be incredibly nice and hold your hand just this once. As indicated by this answer on stackoverflow, you can try to update requests-toolbelt in order to get a version that is compatible with urllib3 2.0.0. You would do this by running the command pip install --upgrade requests-toolbelt.

Considering your inexperience, however, this will likely just result in more errors. For example, did you read the part on the main github readme about installing all of PixivUtil2's dependencies listed in requirements.txt? If not, make sure you install all of those dependencies as well.

Best of luck. And if all this is over your head, just wait until a new version is released.

[MarqFJA87]

It's finally working! Thank you for being patient with me, nomakewan. Those updates were the last pieces missing from the puzzle.

[gnarf1975]

Best of luck. And if all this is over your head, just wait until a new version is released.

The latest version is from January 2023 and there will probably be no new updates. And I don't know enough about this shit.

Greetings to the developer: I'm waiting!

[cocokakao]

Last update is over a year old, any hope??

[MarqFJA87]

The issue is no longer present on my end. Seems like Fanbox has downgraded their Cloudflare security mode?

[Nandaka]

@gnarf1975 https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2/releases/tag/v20240703

also backup your old files! Got some issue with compilation to exe file, so I still recommend to run from source code...

[usernameisalreadytakendammit]

seems it only works on firefox for me. for Google chrome i still get the error cuz it doesnt accept google chrome user agent x)

[shinji257]

Pulled down the newest version. As per this issue I logged into Pixiv and Fanbox using Firefox then grabbed both of their session cookies. Updated user agent to match the Firefox browser used. Used CF tokens from Fanbox (they have different tokens). Working like a charm without a VPN. Thanks!

[SSoM]

Newest release. UserAgent updated. cookieFanbox and cf_clearance accounted for. Still doesn't work.

"Error processing FANBOX post: ==> (post id) Failed FANBOX Cloudflare CAPTCHA challenge, please check your cookie and user-agent settings."

Works with VPN but I thought the issue was resolved so as to not need that. Readme does not help at all.

[biggestsonicfan]

You are missing the __cf_bm cookie then.

The Readme can not help you as this issue is too new and ongoing to document.

If the issue persists, perhaps the user/pass functionality of PixivUtil2 should be removed altogether in favor of parsing cookies from the browser.

If the issue persists, perhaps the user/pass functionality of PixivUtil2 should be removed altogether in favor of parsing cookies from the browser.

Is there an explanation somewhere for how to capture these right now? cf_clearance and cf_bm?

Did you also copy paste your user agent in the config file?

useragent = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0
this ?

If that's the useragent of your firefox browser then yes

[Uraratan]

thats in my config file

[usernameisalreadytakendammit]

thats in my config file

Is that the one thats in the config file by default?
cuz you have to go to inspect elements to get your useragent and replace the one in config with yours and dont forget to refresh the fanbox page to make sure your cf_clearance and cf_bm is up to date

@usernameisalreadytakendammit is this on a completely new profile on Firefox? I keep getting captcha error

[FriedGenera]

@biggestsonicfan @usernameisalreadytakendammit Yea seems that on a completely freshly built chromium browser it works just fine, I'll check which of the settings in the Firefox menu/about:config is causing the issues with the Cloudflare cookies
