Server seems to be busy or offline - try again

Expected Behavior

The bot should start up

Actual Behavior

The program gets stuck in a loop saying Server seems to be busy or offline - try again up to 15 times then tries to log in again, logs in successfully, then repeats.

Your FULL config.json (remove your username, password, gmapkey and any other private info)

It’s literally the default one, I’ve done a fresh pull. I’m using a pokemon club account if that matters.

Steps to Reproduce

Followed the installation instructions on the documentation. The only bit I could not do in the “./setup.sh -i” was the hashkey part because I can’t find any instructions about what this means other than the first two lines of the read me.

Other Information

The account works fine on the app on my phone, i’m not banned. There are no instructions on the hashkey variable in the auth.json file and what that is or how to get one. Me not being able to fill this out is probably the reason this isn’t working. OS: Raspbian

Branch: master

Hash key is needed for the bot to work on 0.57.2 API More about hash key: https://talk.pogodev.org/d/55-api-hashing-service-f-a-q Note: Hash key is s 3rd party service not related to this bot.

Alternatively, you can try this: make a backup of your requirements.txt and then change this git+https://github.com/pogodevorg/pgoapi.git@develop#egg=pgoapi to git+https://github.com/MerlionRock/pgoapi.git@develop#egg=pgoapi and do a ./setup.sh -u

Note that without hash key, you will face captcha as well as more likely to be banned.
