Getting Login Error

[TiesdeKok]

I am having the same issue since today, I suspect that google changed the login page in some way.

Update:
After looking at the source code of the login page I noticed that something minor changed.
Fortunately this is an easy fix (for now at least):

Fix it by changing line 64 in pyGTrends.py from

galx = re.compile('<input name="GALX"[\s]+type="hidden"[\s]+value="(?P<galx>[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)">')

To:

galx = re.compile('<input type="hidden"[\s]+name="GALX"[\s]+value="(?P<galx>[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)">')

In case the type and name arguments are going to be switching around frequently something like this might be a better solution:

Change line 64 - line 67 in pyGTrends.py from

galx = re.compile('<input name="GALX"[\s]+type="hidden"[\s]+value="(?P<galx>[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)">')
m = galx.search(resp)
if not m:
    raise Exception('Cannot parse GALX out of login page')

To:

galx = re.compile('<input name="GALX"[\s]+type="hidden"[\s]+value="(?P<galx>[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)">')
m = galx.search(resp)
if not m:
    galx = re.compile('<input type="hidden"[\s]+name="GALX"[\s]+value="(?P<galx>[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)">')
    m = galx.search(resp)
    if not m:
        raise Exception('Cannot parse GALX out of login page')

I am still getting the issue...did you test this?

[TiesdeKok]

You think I would suggest a fix without testing it? 😜
I copy pasted the code that worked for me into my comment. (Maybe something went wrong there?)

It could be that they changed something in a dynamic way, that would explain why my fix works for me but not for you.

If you follow these steps you might be able to figure out the problem:

1. Go to: https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLoginBoxAuth
2. View source and search for GALX
3. The regular expression of line 64 should capture the GALX value after the value argument

In my case the problem was that the order of the arguments changed to type before name

haha you can see the frustration boiling over;) Sorry about that...let me check it out. Thanks!

We both encountered an issue with login and the above fix remedied it very
nicely! I recommend following the advice above of replacing line 64 with
64-67!
