Starting from the beginning, the API returns an HTTP status code of 403 (forbidden) or 503 (service unavailable) when Cloudflare blocks the API call. To access e621 and the API, a captcha must be completed. The simplest way is to use a WebView:

where USER_AGENT is the exact same as in all other requests to the e621 API. This is important so that Cloudflare knows that it is the same client connecting.

After completing the captcha Cloudflare redirects to e621, and the next step is to extract and store three cookies from the WebView. These are __cfduid, e621 and cf_clearance. Two of these tells Cloudflare that the captcha has been completed and the third is an identifier for e621. Together, these can be used to bypass Cloudflare and make the API working again.

CookieManager extracts the cookies:

Save the values of these cookies in e.g. SharedPreferences. The last step is to include the three cookies in all following API calls. An example using Jsoup:

Include the cookies and use the same user agent at all times and Cloudflare will not block the API calls to e621 :) (until you have to complete a captcha again)

TWS v2 is coming along quite well, it just takes time to finish everything. The regular stuff like searching, viewing posts and downloading posts work but I haven’t had time to do a lot more like voting/commenting and things.

There are some changes from the old app (not listing all):

• The minimum Android version increases from Android 4.4 to Android 5.0 (from API 19 to 21).
• The Next and Previous buttons have been removed. Instead it is possible to swipe/drag between pages and posts (full-screen too), like in a gallery app. As a result of this, I also added infinite scrolling and the app preloads the previous and next three posts/pages.
• Starting with the next Android release (Android Q) every app on all Android versions will be required to use specified directories to save files to. As a result it will not be possible to be able to select where you want the posts saved to. Read more here.
• Posts will continue to be cached for faster loading but will use the app’s private directory instead (Internal storage/Android/data/APP_NAME/files/cache/). Uninstalling the app clears the cache.
• Tags, artists, sources, parent and child posts are clickable.
• While waiting for a full post to load, the app shows the post’s thumbnail (in low or medium quality, depending on the settings).
• Entire pages and comics (pools) can be downloaded more easily.
• Downloaded posts will be saved with the correct date (by download time) instead of when the post was created on e621.
• And it’s also a lot better and nicer looking ;3

More to come :)
