nodel-jodel broken now due to change in authentication mechanism

[andrelanger]

Seems like the Jodel Venture GmbH has changed its authentication mechanism.

The node-jodel client does not work any longer in my case.

The getAccessTokenForDevice method returns a response stating "Signed request expected" or simply Unauthorized

Seems like they added a new acess_token/refresh_token signing mechanism and an addition distinct_id object as stated in another github project at https://github.com/ppati000/jodelstats/blob/master/app/models/jodel_handler.rb

Hi,

I'm having the same issue. Tried to get into the API using node-jodel code and Postman tool, but I'm also getting the "Signed request expected" message.

Hi, yeah the auth seems to have changed since I made this 8 months ago.

I don't personally have time to do the necessary research on the new auth mechanisms at the moment, but feel free to do some exploration and submit a PR! 😎

I wrote an API from scratch which supports the new mechanism. You can find it here:
