Token error on rarbg

Help & Support
#1

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.4326
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): n/a
OS: Windows 10 64bit
Debug logs: http://pastebin.com/5wwiWsyb
Description of issue:

Hi.

Like I said in 12047,

If I use manual search I get correct results:

Manual_search.JPG1013×535 60.7 KB

But if I click on one of those links to open the page on rarbg, I get this message:

Invalid token. Use get_token for a new one!

I think only the opening from manual search is affected because automatic importing seems to work.
If I try to get a new token by invoking:

https://torrentapi.org/pubapi_v2.php?get_token=get_token

I get the very same token that Sonarr uses.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Do the logs show an automatic search or a grab from the manual search? Because the logs show a successful grab.

Please post ((trace logs)) showing the issue sending the release to your download client.

#3

Those logs were from manual search. I didn’t have the debug enabled when last successful automatic grab occured.

I won’t have an automatic event till probably Monday.
Will the automatic search be sufficient to investigate?

PS: Like I said - it seems to me like the everything is working between Sonarr and Deluge.
It’s just when I want to open the release page from within Sonarr, using the link that redirects me through torrentapi, that’s when it hits the wall and I get the “invalid token” message.

#4

Ahh sorry, I misunderstood, I was thinking it failed when grabbing, but it’s failing when opening the release info page?

#5

Correct.
It’s happening both when

  1. opening from the Manual search (like on the screen in the first post), and
  2. on the episode info, in History tab, when I point the question mark and click the “Info” link in the bubble.

In both instances, I get the same error message:

Invalid token. Use get_token for a new one!

I looked into this and I see it as well, but it is an issue on RARBG’s end, not something we can fix. I’ve filed an issue with them: https://github.com/rarbg/torrentapi/issues/12

#7

Oh, I understand. Thank you for your help. Looks like I’m going to have to wait for them.

@markus101, Really should’ve pinged me before posting to torrentapi. This isn’t something rarbg will/can fix. The token is a protection mechanism. It’s there to make sure every url is invalid unless used in a short enough time.
The only way we can fix it is by redirecting the info link via sonarr first.

#9

@Taloth If it’s used immediately it still fails, so there is an issue on the RARBG side.

#10

Different useragent?

Edit: Nope, tested it outside of Sonarr, seems to be broken.

#11

@ThatWhiteMonster rarbg fixed it

#12

I can confirm it works :slight_smile: .

Thank you @markus101 and @Taloth !!

Quick question. How long is the token supposed to be valid? 24hrs?

Because I’m not getting that error in manual search anymore but looks like I keep getting it in links from release history. Even after 2-3hrs after grabbing.

#14

Much shorter than 24 hours, I’m not sure how long its valid for though.

#15

I’m using those links for quite some time now and just from experience I assumed that it’s around 24hrs. They tend to work the next morning after grabbing.

Now it’s not even “few hours” . . .

#16

Afaik It’s valid as long as there’s a session in Sonarr that periodically refreshes the token. It gets extended on each rss sync.

#17

By that logic it should be valid as long as Sonarr session runs uninterrupted.
I don’t have time to check periodically, but I checked last night, 1 hour after grabbing and the link was working. Then I checked this morning, which puts the link at being 9 hours old and I got the token error.
Today I also couldn’t use the link that was 3 hours old.

That’s really strange, because until recently I could use those link for (I think) up to 24hrs. I used to do that all the time. Did something change on rarbg side?

I don’t know if it was there before, but I’ve found the apidoc for rarbg and it says that the token is valid for 15 minutes. I’m lost. Like I said, I could use the link 1 hour after grabbing last night.

Anyway, here’s the link to apidoc that I’ve found: https://torrentapi.org/apidocs_v2.txt

#18

yes, it’s valid for 15min unless extended. With the rsssync at 15min it’s a coin toss.
Best way would be to redirect the link via sonarr, so we can tack a new token on it, but atm I don’t want to invest the effort to do that.
