It used to work open accounts.google.com/displayunlockcaptcha within the account and unlock, but since two days ago, it seems not being working, the message keep showing again and again. Does any one know how to resolve the issue?
Btw, it happens with earlier versions, so probably the problem is in google, not in the app
Thanks

You may need to update python with the requeriment.txt file provided in the solution

pip install --upgrade -r ./doc/requirements.txt

It solved the issue in my case

I would like you to test if this script works for you, https://github.com/YuriCosta/WhatsApp-GD-Extractor-Multithread and if it does, let me know so I can incorporate it in my tool.
Whapa currently works with some accounts and not others, I'm not sure if it's the python version, Whatsapp, or something from the google account.

Thank you the new script it worked great

using gpsoauth-0.4.3 result in {'Error': 'BadAuthentication'}
using gpsoauth1.0.0 result in {'Error': 'NeedsBrowser', 'Url':
after doing https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
then it worked fine like whapa has few months ago

also using Charles Web Proxy with ssl proxying (to see the request/response) result in {'Error': 'BadAuthentication'}, u need to turn off the ssl proxying so the script can work

small observation in the new script seem need to be improved since doing Info result in KeyError: 'passwordProtectedBackupEnabled'
also got an error the first time it sync (downloading he backup files) but resolved it by repeating the sync option (probably a bad connection)

    self.get(file["name"].replace("%", "%25").replace("+", "%2B"), {"alt": "media"}, stream=True)

Is there a way on using this new script without the Android ID? I think thats whats causing my problem!

i always use same android ID for several account without issue (even if the device are not the one that are linked to that google account), since without entering the android id it will cause a new android device every time you try to use the script, and YOUR DEVICES on your google account will be filled with Android Unknown Device

i always use same android ID for several account without issue (even if the device are not the one that are linked to that google account), since without entering the android id it will cause a new android device every time you try to use the script, and YOUR DEVICES on your google account will be filled with Android Unknown Device

I see! I used again the script with my android ID and all i get is this: {'Error': 'BadAuthentication'}. Do you know why i get this error? Im using gpsoauth.0.4.3!

Update gpsoauth to the latest version

Windows Whapa used to work for me few months ago, but few days ago when i try Whapa again it keep saying Error': 'NeedsBrowser', even after doing the unlockcaptcha url (and still doesn't work even after updating the python and the requirement package)

so for now only YuriCosta Script that work for me, Tried it with several google account, and only YuriCosta script that work

could it be the old gpsoauth (0.4.3) that are causing the error? and only v1.0.0 that work now?, sadly i tried gpsoauth 1.0.0 with whapa but it wasn't compatible (something about signature error).

ah yeah the YuriCosta does indeed work with gpsoauth 0.4.2 and 1.0.0 but not with 0.4.3 (Error': 'BadAuthentication)
sadly Whapa still doesn't work with gpsoauth 0.4.2 (NeedBrowser) nor 0.4.3

I've been testing the YuriCosta app and it seems to work ok. Some backups have an error on a file which closes the whole sync and you cant get the whole backup. But other backups synced fine, even from multiple numbers on the same account. (it automatically downloads all backups on the account)
I didn't edit the android ID, I just left it all 0's in every case.

One nice thing with the YuriCosta script is when it syncs the backup, it shows you in percentage how much of the backup is downloaded, kinda useful to see how much longer it has.
