"An app update is required"

[Prog72]

Is anyone getting this message when attempting to log in? Presumably the API has been deprecated.

Looks like it is broken.

Thanks, I've got it working again using the info in that thread.

@Prog72 do you have a patch that fixes things?

Here's what I'm using. I'm no expert so hopefully it makes sense!

POST https://api.oauth.blink.com/oauth/token

Headers

content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded
hardware_id unique ID

*Body

username username
password password
grant_type password
client_id android
scope client

I then got a code sent to my phone by SMS which is used in the following.

POST https://api.oauth.blink.com/oauth/token

Headers

2fa-code 6 digit OTP
content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Body

hardware_id unique ID
username username
password password
grant_type password
client_id android
scope client

This will return an access token which is required for any subsequent requests. The URLs for arming, disarming etc. appear to be the same but the header has changed from token-auth to the following.

Authorization Bearer access token

@Prog72 Are you able to provide your full code for this omitting personal information obviously. I tried to edit mine but couldn't get it working.

I implemented the new auth system for the Blink-for-home homebridge plugin, you are welcome to look there: https://github.com/yphoenix/homebridge-blink-for-home. This alternative repo also implemented the change: https://github.com/Flomentum-Solutions/homebridge-blink-for-home-new
