Account gets locked after API login

Anyone knows how to prevent that? I get forced to reset my password everytime I login via API.

Using it on my local machine, so IP-address is the same.

I had the same issue - account blocked after one successful run of example.py. What could be the reason?
https://github.com/exislow/kleinanzeigen-magic ist running fine.

I compared the headers and the only difference seems to be the 'Content-Type': 'application/xml'.
I need to check this after my account in unblocked.
Any other thoughts?

Yup can confirm, with that additional sent header, my account is not getting blocked anymore!

Great news - i will try it soon as well.

I tried it but didn’t work. Just adding the content type header was not enough. Next I will try to have just the headers that https://github.com/exislow/kleinanzeigen-magic is using. Which headers did you use?

I've removed a header after encountering this issue. It seems so that this header is deprecated: X-EBAYK-WENKSE-SESSION-ID and triggers the risk management for chaning the password. The header was introduced in this commit: 62ba68d. Maybe the author @felixb can tell us something about it.

My working code looks like this:

header = {
    'X-EBAYK-APP': self.H_EBAYK_CLIENT_APP,
    'X-ECG-USER-VERSION': self.H_EBAYK_CLIENT_VERSION,
    'X-ECG-USER-AGENT': self.H_EBAYK_CLIENT_TYPE,
    'Authorization': 'Basic {}'.format(app_auth),
    'X-ECG-Authorization-User': user_auth,
    'User-Agent': self.H_EBAYK_CLIENT_UA,
}

@cloudmaker97 I've just adapted the js code referenced here: #14.
