This repository contains scripts to gather the location of any lovoo user (approx. 10meters difference) without having to register an independent account. This script exploits an public API route.
This api route returns a JSON response of users near a given location, a typical user response will contain the following data:
{
"_type": "user",
"id": "XXXXXXX",
"name": "XXXXXXX",
"gender": 1,
"age": 27,
"lastOnlineTime": 1474896338,
"whazzup": "",
"freetext": "XXXXXXX",
"isInfluencer": 0,
"flirtInterests": [ ],
"options": {
"profileShareable": 1
},
"isVip": 0,
"counts": {
"p": 4,
"m": 8
},
"locations": {
"home": {
"city": "XXXXXXXX",
"country": "DE",
"distance": 4.4
},
"current": {
"city": "XXXXX",
"country": "DE",
"distance": 4.4
}
},
"mutualHashtagCount": 0,
"isNew": 0,
"isOnline": 0,
"isMobile": 0,
"isHighlighted": 0,
"picture": "XXXX",
"images": [
{
"url": "https://img.lovoo.com/users/pictures/XXXXX/thumb_l.jpg",
"width": 160,
"height": 160
},
{
"url": "https://img.lovoo.com/users/pictures/XXXXX/image.jpg",
"width": 958,
"height": 1280
}
],
"isVerified": 0,
"verifications": {
"facebook": 0,
"verified": 0,
"confirmed": 1
}
}The interesting part of this response is the fact that you can specify any location and the users distance is calculated by the lat/lng you speicified. In the example above you can see that the user is 4.4kilometres away from my pseudo location. With this data you can basically triangulate a user with no more than 7 queries to the lovoo API.
Other things exposed by this API:
- locations
- images (public)
- facebook user
- lastOnlineTime
- username
- gender
- relationship status
If you are authenticated you can also get the following:
- profile "matches" - this is a lovoo-thing I don't know.
- flirt interests
You may run this script using the lovoo.py (this is also available as a module)
python lovoo.py
This script starts with a preset location and then checks subsequent api responses in nearby locations. You can get even higher accuracy by providing more samples.
The geo.py#LocationMapper does the calculation where the user currently is. The implementation is left blank intentionally because I don't want to encourage abuse of this API.
After the script succeeded you can view the saved locations (on a per-user basis) in the data.json file.
I don't want any feature contribution
