Yahoo! contacts not loading properly

[wael34218]

I installed "contacts" gem on my local machine, wrote some code to get yahoo, gmail and hotmail contacts, and it was running smoothly. I moved the code to a server for testing, my gmail and hotmail contacts were still running, but Yahoo gave me the following error:

Contacts::AuthenticationError: Username and password do not match

I am sure that email and password are correct. I tried my code on another server the behavior was the same ...

Any hints?

It's happening the same to me, is there an issue with Staging and Production environment?

I get this error randomly when trying. If I run it 10 times, it might fail 5 times, and succeed 5 times. I'm not convinced it's a 50/50 thing, sometimes it fails only 2 out of 10, but it's pretty inconsistent. Only Yahoo suffers from this. I've done my best to dig into it and I can't figure out why this is.

+1 ! I have this issue too. Seems like it works sporadically. :(

I also have this same issue in my application. It seems that we are missing something.

Could it be something related to a captcha request?

I have this issue as well. I haven't once yet gotten it to work with Yahoo, whereas GMail works correctly every time.

Hey everyone with the same issue, we have implemented a delay to retrieve the contacts when we are importing contacts, it seems to work better, is @cardmagic still working on it?
