Login fails under qBittorrent 3.1.11

[stumpylog]

Following the example labeled "Quick Usage Guide" results in an exception.
python-qbittorrent version: 0.1.4
qBittorrent version 3.1.11
requests version 2.8.1

Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./temp.py", line 13, in
torrents = qb.torrents()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qbittorrent/client.py", line 168, in torrents
return self._get('query/torrents', params=params)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qbittorrent/client.py", line 34, in _get
return self._request(endpoint, 'get', **kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qbittorrent/client.py", line 62, in _request
raise LoginRequired
qbittorrent.client.LoginRequired: Please login first.

The Web UI is enabled in preferences, accessible with a browser and the username/password combination works in the browser. I have also tested with different passwords, and bypassing authentication for localhost. All these have the same result.

Looking at the login code, and replicating it with requests directly,

session = requests.Session()
login = session.post('http://127.0.0.1:8080/login', data={'username': 'admin', 'password': 'admin'})
print login.status_code

results in a status code of '404'. If there's more info that would be helpful, let me know.

The api wrapper is intended to work only on versions above 3.1.x. Please try mookfist's repo.

I am using v3.1.11 qbittorrent and receiving the same issue.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/test.py", line 6, in
torrents = qb.torrents()

from qbittorrent import Client

qb = Client('http://127.0.0.1:8080')
qb.login('admin','password')

torrents = qb.torrents()

Hi @ryee1 , as said above, it won't work on 3.1.x. You either have to upgrade to latest 3.3.x or use this repo

You can get the latest version of qbittorrent on this page.

How about checking the api version during init and throwing an exception if it is too low (or a 404 is returned)?

[v1k45]

@dozedoff , nice idea. I'll work on this soon :)

Hi try
pip install python-qbittorrent --upgrade
if output says Found existing installation: requests 2.2.1 Not uninstalling requests at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, owned by OS
delete and retry first pip install python-qbittorrent --upgrade than try your code

[eliabntt]

@v1k45 i have to attatch qb.login(us, pw) to let your program work even if i have free access from localhost

[v1k45]

Hi @eliabntt,

Found existing installation: requests 2.2.1 Not uninstalling requests at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, owned by OS

This behavior is totally okay as PIP says that you already have all requirements installed, no need to upgrade them.

i have to attatch qb.login(us, pw) to let your program work even if i have free access from localhost

What version of qBittorrent you're using? On what platform? Does qb.login(us, pw) work for you or it throws any error/exception?

[eliabntt]

This behavior is totally okay as PIP says that you already have all requirements installed, no need to upgrade them.

I've got the same issue yesterday and the pip update library in /usr/local/bin but the OS's ones has precedence
Anyway it work for me I've deleted that folder and than do the upgrade so all works well
Ubuntu 14.04.3 for or odroid c1+, qbittorrent 3.1.11, so it should work well as you write on first page of this report

for qBittorrent Web API (for versions above v3.1.x).

anyway I can't update on 3.3.x because no stable version for armhf were released and not stable version don't work I've tried every single method.
qb.login() seems work(I'm not 100% sure) but I have set qbittorrent to bypass login on localhost and this work on browser but not with library.

not required when 'Bypass from localhost' setting is active.

for qBittorrent Web API (for versions above v3.1.x).

This is being misinterpreted by many folks. By above 3.1.x, i mean any version that starts with 3.1 won't work. This happens because the authentication method was changed to session based after versions above 3.1.

You have to either update your qBittorrent client (the newer versions have loads of awesome features :) ) or use mookfist's version of qBittorrent python wrapper.

[eliabntt]

It works well with your lib

Are you sure that it works? Are you able to perform other actions like extracting list of torrents, adding etc?

[eliabntt]

I've extracted successfully my list of torrents ;)

Thats something I wasn't expecting. I'll test the client with 3.1.11 as soon as I get time. Thanks :)
