Script "can't connect to website" - Response 403

[Guillaume-Garrigos]

Hi,

I just installed the script and it is not working for me. Both the windows script and the python one return the same error: after running python __main__.py -find "One Piece" (from the appropriate folder) or comic_dl.exe -find "One Piece", I obtain the following message error:

Downloading The Latest Data Set...
Whoops! Seems like I can't connect to website.
It's showing : <Response [403]>

With the --verbose argument, it produces the following logfile:

DEBUG: Arguments Provided : Namespace(auto=False, chapter_id=None, comic=False, comic_info=None, config=False, convert=None, download_directory=['C:\\Users\\XXXX\\Desktop'], force_download=False, input=None, keep=['True'], manga_language='0', page_id=None, password=['None'], print_index=False, quality='True', range='All', search=['One Piece'], search_comic=None, skip_cache='0', sorting=None, update=None, username=['None'], verbose=True, version=False)
DEBUG: Operating System : Windows - 10 - 10.0.18362

DEBUG: Starting new HTTP connection (1): www.mangaeden.com:80
DEBUG: http://www.mangaeden.com:80 "GET /api/list/0/ HTTP/1.1" 403 None

At that point I don't know what to do?
I precise that I installed all the dependencies as required (Node.js, Phantom.js, python) and added them to the PATH (I can access each of them from anywhere with the terminal).

Cheers
Guillaume

Facing the same issue

[Xonshiz]

Could you please try this again and update me? I'll take a look if the issue is still there.

[Guillaume-Garrigos]

So it seems that there is a progress. I do not get an error, but :

Downloading The Latest Data Set...
Searching for One Piece in the Database...
Total Time Taken To Search : 0.336000204086
API Provided By Manga Eden : http://www.mangaeden.com/

Is it what I am supposed to get? The main documentation says that the result should look like this :

I don't know if it is related but I did not updated comic-dl before trying again, in the above answer. Maybe that was implicit in your demand?

After updating comic-dl from the repo, I'm getting a bunch of errors. It seems that a lot of paths have been turned into relative paths and the system is not liking it :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "__main__.py", line 10, in <module>
    from comic_dl.__version__ import __version__
  File "D:\Documents\config_xps\comic-dl\comic-dl-master\comic_dl\comic_dl.py", line 6, in <module>
    from .__version__ import __version__
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

[Xonshiz]

Ohhh yeah the relative path errors. I fixed it with a work-around for building the binaries/distributables. But, looks like the code will still have those issues. I'll park the import issues for now with code.
But as for the original issue, seems like something changed in mangaeden api.
Thanks for checking this one. I'll see whenever I get some time to look into this.

I have the same issue, but I get <Reponse [522]>. Log File:

[Xonshiz]

Yeah, time to remove manga Eden and the search feature for now. I think I was looking into an alternative and I might've found one. I'll take a look at that next week if I get some time. Will keep this open till I remove the search or fix it.

@Xonshiz

6 months later, the site is still down.
Time to clean it up?

[Xonshiz]

I want to, but I don't want to.. :(
I'll give it another try around this month, let's see and decide the fate of this one.
