Carelink login not working with xdrip

[iwascu]

the carelink server only works with medtronic applications. xdrip can no longer connect to the server. do you have the same problem? (server is carelink.minimed.eu)

[Geluboy]

I have this problem too. I mean login method changed.

[Navid200]

@benceszasz

Do you have any info?
Thanks

About 1 mounth ago when i can't login I must create new account. Becouse was wrong type datas in Medtronic server. The guy who made Guardian monitor ios app he changed login method its worked, and working it.
Well then suggest:
"Then in the application they should add the configuration whether the sensor connects to the pump or through the application (without the pump) because the data-based detection mechanism does it wrong and the fact that "deviceFaimily" = "GUARDIAN" does not mean that it is a BLE connection or not . If you give it to them, they should take care of it. But I don't know if that's for sure. Unfortunately I haven't found any other way to detect this and what my application does is first try to fetch data for the pumps and then for the non-pump version.
what's important - if the downloaded data is zero, it's probably downloaded from the wrong address and then the algorithm tries to download the data using a different approach. Automatic detection is not possible. If you give it to the programmer, he should take care of it.

Previously, the api /monitor/data request returned a structure with one deviceFamily parameter, and on this basis, if the name contained ”BLE”, there was a different path for downloading data from carelink - a different address. Currently, two addresses with data are being checked. And if there is data for one of them, I remember this path and download it correctly every time.

Well who can programing xdrip i hope understand 😁

I mention that I am on android without a pump. guardian 3. It worked until today at 14:48 when the medtronic server went down. After they started the server, the applications from carelink medronic work instead, xdrip does not.

I'm having the same problem today. 770G working with MiniMed app, Carelink follower app working, xDrip returns Data Request Error Response Code: 400

[benceszasz]

HTTP 504 error (timeout) seems to be because CareLink refuses to answer the requests sent by xdrip. I think maybe Medtronic has put the browser headers used in the HTTP requests to banned list. Changing the relevant headers (User-Agent) seems to solve this problem and CareLink answers with HTTP 200.

[Navid200]

There is a claim that the US server CareLink is still working fine.
Is it possible that fixing the problem could possibly break things for the US server?

[Navid200]

@benceszasz Are you interested in opening a PR?
Do you need help for it?

Hello

i think i found the problem

In this file (line 519):
https://github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip/blob/fbdead532d3d83fffcc8acc7d6b858981a087d11/app/src/main/java/com/eveningoutpost/dexdrip/cgm/carelinkfollow/client/CareLinkClient.java

Changed by:
.addHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 7_0_6 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/537.51.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/11B651");

I test in python system with this client:
https://github.com/ondrej1024/carelink-python-client

  self.__commonHeaders = {
        # Common browser headers
        "Accept-Language":"en;q=0.9, *;q=0.8",
        "Connection":"keep-alive",
        "sec-ch-ua":"\"Google Chrome\";v=\"87\", \" Not;A Brand\";v=\"99\", \"Chromium\";v=\"87\"",

      }

I changed the "User-Agent", and i solved y my python system.

Medtronic is filtrer by "User-Agent" ;-(

[Ausher2]

For those of us non-programmer users, how do we fix this?

[CenGo86]

For those of us non-programmer users, how do we fix this?

We'll have to wait unless one of the two can upload a compiled version here for us until the update for xdrip comes.

[heliax01]

I am having the same problem. Looking forward to a new compiled verion.

[CenGo86]

Now it works for me. Dont know why

[gginard]

Medtronic has put back the original User-Agent

[Navid200]

Is the problem solved for everyone?

Is anyone still experiencing the problem with official xDrip?

[Ausher2]

I am still having the same problem, yes. Ann

While running this updated version, I am still seeing:
CareLink download error! Response code: 400

[Navid200]

What updated version. We have not created any new versions to address this yet.

[ntroup]

Sorry, good point. I have been trying the version from https://github.com/benceszasz/xDripCareLinkFollower with a fix for the 504 error, but that didn't fix the 400 error which I was getting with both this and the other version.

I saw the PR (#2822) that pull those changes into this version, but I don't believe it fixes everything entirely.

[Navid200]

Does the official xDrip system status page show anything that could identify you or your location?

[ntroup]

See below, but I have it configured for 'United States'. I do not see a server location.

[Navid200]

I would like to create a summary so that we may create a plan. I need to know if you are still having problems or not and I need to know what the CareLink country is in your xDrip settings. If you don't feel like sharing that, it is your choice and you don't have to.
My hope is to find what's common between those who don't have the problem any longer, and what is common between those who do.
We cannot solve a problem before we understand the cause perfectly.

If you tell me if you still have the problem or not and also what your CarLink country is, I will put everything in a single table to make it easier for everyone to see the summary.

[Navid200]

@benceszasz Thanks for working on this. Please tell us if you need help.

[benceszasz]

@solanix You can test the first version of my carelink xdrip client for multi patient follow. It should work with patient and carepartner US accounts too now. I could only test it with standalone Medtronic CGM, but not with 7XXG pump.

[solanix]

@benceszasz Installed and tested xdrip-carelink.zpk as well as xdrip-variantX.apk. The following screenshot was taken to detail the logs.

• The results are the same with a set patient or none provided

[benceszasz]

I assume you are using 770G. As I wrote earlier I could only test it first with standalone CGM and both Patient and Care Partner accounts were working fine. It turned out, that 7xxG pumps in the US won't work with the same data APIs even on the new multiple follow enabled servers. Currently I have no solution for US 770G pump Care Partner accounts only for Patient accounts.
I have released a new version, which should work in the US with 770G pumps but only using Patient accounts.

[solanix]

Thank you for all of the work and the rapid work around. I will give that a try.

Yes with regard to the 770g, G3 CGM, and Samsung Note 20 Ultra. I was using a follow account as well.

[Navid200]

[CenGo86]

I want to share something new. Im in germany and xdrip works fine. But I got message data processing error. This is the log. But everything works.

I don't know if this is related to this topic, but maybe it will help

[Ausher2]

I tried all of the variants and still got the same "data request failed" error message each time. I logged out of Carelink and back in again but that didn't help.

[benceszasz]

My latest private xdrip version should work with any account type and any device type.

[Geluboy]

Bence Szász version working for me in Hungary! Thx

[solanix]

This is aweful. I was wondering why I kept getting login failed and then a slew of two-factor authentication emails.

Is there a way to disable the MFA on the carelink account? I have not seen a toggle anywhere and it shows active under My Profile. I am hoping that this is just for some accounts and not an automatic enrollment across the US

[benceszasz]

Not sure, if it can be disabled. Meanwhile I have released a new version, which should work with any account type, so if there is no other way, you can create a Care Partner account without MFA and use it to follow your Patient account.

[solanix]

My hat's off to you brother. That is a fantastic drop that works as advertised. Thank you for your work on this

[Ausher2]

Thank you so much! It's so nice to have it working again on my Pixel Watch. I appreciate all your efforts.

[jamorham]

@benceszasz will you prepare a PR for this? thanks

[ghost]

@Navid200 thanks for your message.

Like i mentioned in my first message, I don't even know what Github is....
Nevermind a repositorie but i do know what links are so i will delete them

I just wanted to say thank you is all :)

[Navid200]

@blacktails11 Please delete both of your posts. Or, I can delete them for you.

You can use xDrip using the patient account to use CareLink.

[ghost]

@blacktails11
You can use xDrip using the patient account to use CareLink.

Thanks Navid.... I dont know what that means.....

[ghost]

Thanks for the welcome @Navid200
Guess im not welcome here

[Navid200]

@blacktails11 What do you mean you are not welcome here?
Everyone is welcome here. I asked you to please delete references to other repositories. You deleted one link and left the references in. I asked you to delete the posts. You ignored my request and asked another question.
Every time we post here, everyone in this thread gets a notification.

You also stated that it was working for you. If your problem has been resolved, and you have any other questions, would you please open another thread?

[benceszasz]

@ntroup @Ausher2 @solanix @kevinfields777 have you all been using CareLink Follower with a Care Partner account in the US? If so, have you tried using the Patient account?

[ntroup]

I've been using the Care Partner account, as my Patient account has Multi-Factor enabled and I can't turn it off.

[steinauf85]

I've been using the Care Partner account, as my Patient account has Multi-Factor enabled and I can't turn it off.

Same with me, though I’ve seen on Facebook others that resolved this by switching to the patient account through the MiniMed Mobile app.

Edit: never mind, just saw the latest update which fixed it. Thank you @benceszasz !

[kevinfields777]

Sorry for the late reply, for some reason I couldn't access the link to the discussion until now. I switched from the partner account to patient account and it started working again.

[Navid200]

Please try the latest Nightly: https://github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip/releases/tag/2023.05.26

[djgingersteve]

Thanks. Fixed for me in United Kingdom on a Partner account 🙏🏻

[Navid200]

@benceszasz Thanks for the fix

[aruiz]

Is this issue fixed in the official releases?

[Carmoldu]

Hello,
Today the carelink server went down for a while (at least in Spain). When it came back up, the login functionality did not work: it would take you to the login webpage and after login it would take you back to the Home screen of xdrip+ where nothing would happen. After a few seconds, the message "Not logged in! Please log in!" would appear. Sometimes after the login, a message stating xdrip+ stopped working would appear.

This sounds a lot like the issue mentioned in this conversation. Should the issue be re-opened?

[Carmoldu]

Benceszasz's variant seems to work though.

[Geluboy]

Well we get a messenges, was a big medtronic server update. Not worked it hungaryan time 17:00-23:00...
Now working for me, but I use Bence Szász version not the official xdrip.

[sarhatabaot]

This is happening for us again as well.

[kevinfields777]

I had this issue a week ago, upgrade to the latest official nightly release.

[tloczekt]

This version is working well https://github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip/releases/tag/2024.03.27?fbclid=IwAR1UP4PRCldC4ylXLrOPdZJcjVt9ISwEZcWgFskzYar1wyhdn0nHgPsIPAs niedz., 7 kwi 2024, 07:01 użytkownik Omer Oreg ***@***.***> napisał:

Confirmed.

[benceszasz]

The latest CareLink Follower version (released on 05.12.2023) uses a much better login method than the previous versions:
#3210
Update your xDrip at least to 05.12.2023 or a later Nightly version:
https://github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip/releases
The newer version works fine: I have checked after the CareLink update with different account types, devices and regions, all works!
