Google alerts Suddenly Stopped Working

[m-bilal-dev9]

hey, I'm using this package [https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-alerts] and suddenly one day it stopped working for me. I was not getting results from google alerts all of sudden. I want to know if we log in with an account and create cookies to use in our project and stay inactive on a google account for some months or days, would it leave an impact on google alerts results? What if we start getting notifications excessively? Does google take strict action and cause authentication issues for us? Can we still use our google account?

Your concern and devotion to the above questions will be highly appreciated.

Many Thanks.

hey, look at the authentication error below. I've created a cookie key from my company's Google account. Seems like my account has been blocked. But it's working fine for my personal google account created cookie key. Can you please figure it out and let me know?

Sorry to hear that, @m-bilal-dev9 and sorry to respond that late.
The CI works just fine (It was disabled due to inactivity, what a shame from my side).

Regarding the issue - Unfortunately, I have no company account to verify that, so I'm afraid this company-related auth issue can't be fixed by me. BTW, Is it still a problem?

Hi Adasq/Google-Alerts-Api, I'm getting this error because of cookie expiration. When I generate a new cookie from the same account it starts working again. It's not related to the company's account issue. My cookie expires after some days or say session expires and i've to regenrate cookie by manual steps. Please help me to sort out this issue. I'd leave so many queries on your forum and came to know that it's a known issue in your package and everyone is looking for the answer. Please suggest us a right path to move on. I would highly appreciate. Thanks in Advance.

Hi @adasq I'm experiencing the same issue as mentioned by m-bilal-dev9. What is the best way to go about troubleshooting this?

Thank you

Hey @m-bilal-dev9

Sorry for the delay. And sorry to hear that you're still facing the issues.

Some suggestions:

1. Would be helpful to know if you face the same issues with a normal Google account (non-company)
2. What browser do you use to generate a cookie on a client-side? (my assumption might be you/your browser kills the session on a browser level)
3. Please try to preserve the browser session (you generated cookies from) until you face the issues again. Then verify, whether (1) the session in your browser is still active and (2) the cookie values haven't changed.

Looking forward to hearing from both of you.
