Verification

Issue

i cant verify my account. I get this error code:

Creating new account.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "jodelUser.py", line 16, in <module>
    j.verify(a)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jodel_api-1.2.7-py2.7.egg/jodel_api/jodel_api.py", line 171, in verify
    verification = self._read_verificiation(android_account)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jodel_api-1.2.7-py2.7.egg/jodel_api/jodel_api.py", line 183, in _read_verificiation
    return android_account.receive_verification_from_gcm()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jodel_api-1.2.7-py2.7.egg/jodel_api/gcmhack.py", line 128, in receive_verification_from_gcm
    return self.receive_verification_from_gcm(False)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jodel_api-1.2.7-py2.7.egg/jodel_api/gcmhack.py", line 98, in receive_verification_from_gcm
    raise Exception("socket closed by server")
Exception: socket closed by server

This is the Code

lat, lng, city = 48.148434, 11.567867, "Munich"
j = jodel_api.JodelAccount(lat=lat, lng=lng, city=city)
a = jodel_api.AndroidAccount()
j.verify(a)
print j.get_account_data()

i dont want to spam anything on jodel. I need only j.get_post_details_v3(‘postid’). However sometimes it works sometimes and sometimes i get errorcode 478 …

I encountered the same problem, the weird thing is that it will work at some point. It will fail many times and eventually it starts verifying all accounts perfectly. Later it will fail the whole time again and so on. From my experience it’s like 15min constant fails and then 15min of success in a loop. Dunno whats going on but it works if you have patience.

Looks like Google changed something about the GCM protocol. Don’t really have time to debug this now. You can try to add some print statements to see what messages we still receive.
