Botfag software and Radar services have recently stopped working due to a change in the API.
(Niantic API has added new checks, the data sent is encrypted or signed)
API stopped accepting requests from any sources which are not the actual client. The API needs a value "unknown 6", this value was already in the API in previous versions, but now the server is validating it. Only the actual client can create a valid "unknown6.
>well why does that bother me faggot?
If "unkown6" was already being sent in previous versions and all of the bots didn't send "unkown6" it's basically guaranteed that Niantic has a list of all accounts that never sent the "unkown6" code ,therefore indicating they were cheating. This could create a massive ban wave.
This would be great to stop cheaters but the problem is that Radars or external websites that use the API to track player stats might be affected which would cause unfair bans.
>is there a way to get around with this?
Sadly yes. If you're botting while the game is running you should be sending that unknown6 code and bot developers are working on reverse engineering the API changes.
>what is your point then faggot?
My point is that botting ,sooner or later, will be detectable. Niantic have already done a similar thing with Ingress cheaters so stop botting and play the game legit you fat neckbeard faggot.

Actually, soon, botting will be undetectable. Devs are working on compiling the source code.

Niantic could change their API again if they want to. No cheat is undetectable and if Niantic dont succeed to balance the game, its not the cheat compilers who are smart but Niantic being retarded.

The API wasn't the problem, unknown 6 verification was, and it was solved. Devs are working on a not using source code you idiot, so changing the app would only be an hour long setback at most. Niantic won't change the source code either, Go would be down for weeks if they did. Face it, bots are here to stay.

I think it was very clear that I did imply unknown6 was the problem. Also when was it solved? I want a source because I genuenly don't believe they could solve it so fast.

Check Discord. It's been solved for an hour now m8.
