# Tinder API Documentation - 2018

First off, I want to give a shoutout to @rtt who initially posted the Tinder API Documentation that I found most of these endpoints on. I am writing this to provide a more up-to-date resource for working with the Tinder API.

**Note: This was updated in June 2018 so it might be outdated.**

### API Details

Host
api.gotinder.com

Protocol
SSL

Header

### Known Endpoints

### Status Codes

Status Code
Explanation

200
Everything went okay, and
returned a result (if any).

301
The server is redirecting you to a different endpoint. This can happen when a company switches domain names, or an endpoint's name has changed.

400
The server thinks you made a bad request. This can happen when you don't send the information the API requires to process your request, among other things.

401
The server thinks you're not authenticated. This happens when you don't send the right credentials to access an API

404
The server didn't find the resource you tried to access.

503
Back-end server is at capacity.

### Config File

facebook_access_token and fb_user_id

Simply input your facebook username/email and password in your config file. Then, the fb_auth_token.py module will programmatically retrieve your facebook_access_token and fb_user_id. These are then used to generate your tinder_auth_token in tinder_api.py which grants you access to your data! Happy Swiping!

SMS Authentication (implemented by @Tagge)

SMS authentication is even easier. Just run phone_auth_token.py . You'll be asked your phone number at runtime, you'll then have to type in the code you received by SMS, and it will return your token. We didn't directly implement it in the tinder_api.py because, as opposed to Facebook auth, there's a rate limit to the number of SMS you can receive in an hour (actually 60). It's therefore better to get your token once and use it within its lifetime (24 hours) rather than asking for a new one everytime.

With your token ready, add it to tinder_config_ex.py (value for tinder_token). You're now ready to roll !

Note: With the help of philliperemy , I have included a programatic way to acquire your facebook_token. Now, in your config.py just input your facebook username and password.

Note: With the help of gloriamacia , we added now a jupyter notebook to make the usage even simpler.

Key Features

Match_Info:

Creates a local dictionary containing the following keys on each of your matches

```javascript
{

'messages': [

],

],
'age': 19,
'match_id': '123456789123456789abcdefghi',

}
)
]
```

The following is no longer available due to Tinder setting their ping_time to a constant date in 2014 and/or the removal of Tinder Social.

```

Friends' Pingtimes:

friends_pingtimes() will return the following for each facebook friend of yours who has a Tinder
friend_pingtime_by_name("Joakim Noah") will return the pingtime for only that particular friend.
The following is a sample result for friends_pingtimes():

`
"Joakim Noah -----> 15 days, 16 hrs 46 min 57 sec"
"Carmelo Anthony ------> 0 days, 22 hrs 23 min 45 sec"
...
`

Facebook Friends:

Given a name, it returns some profile information and their id. Once you have the ID, then you can call api.get_person(id) to get more in-depth information on your friends.
