Can't get launcher tokens

[MrPowerGamerBR]

Also, a tip for anyone that tried creating a alt Epic Games account to use the API (just so you didn't need to disable 2FA on your main account): You need to login into Fortnite at least once, if you don't do that, the API will throw 403 Forbidden (and some endpoints, like the player status, will return "Player not found" even if the player exists)

@qlaffont I think it would be nice if you added to the readme that:

• You need to disable two factor authentication before using the API, or else it will throw errors
• You need to login at least once to Fortnite to the API to work, if not it will throw 403 Forbidden errors.

Just so other people doesn't get stuck on the same issues! 😊

Use the ones in Readme

[Lk2v]

I tried, but it doesn't work...

[vanerac]

Can you show your code?

[Lk2v]

here is my code :

[vanerac]

it works for me, do you have 2 factor authentification ?

[Lk2v]

Yes, I enabled it.

[vanerac]

I checked and it shouldn't be a problem,you could try and isable it to see if it fixes anything , when does it break, on startup? Or when I tries to get the refresh token?

[Lk2v]

It breaks at the time of the fortniteAPI.login() by putting a catch() I was able to get this information :

431 Request Header Fields Too Large

This can be caused because one of the fields in the header is too long

[Lk2v]

This error is strange combined my password and email address are only 35 characters in length.

[qlaffont]

I know that sometimes, 2FA generate some problems in login. Can you try to disable it and try again ?

[qlaffont]

To check, I have run my tests, and everything is working. (https://github.com/qlaffont/fortnite-api/blob/master/test/index.js)

[MrPowerGamerBR]

Can confirm, you need to disable two factor authentication of your Epic Games account, if not, the API will throw 431 Request Header Fields Too Large

[qlaffont]

Yes, no problem I will edit the readme ;).

[Lk2v]

Sorry for the long absence.
I just did what you were advised and it works
Thank you very much !
