API Level 0.45 may be enforced soon. Is botting still safe?

[BaiqingL]

So to all of you guys know, PokemonGoF is using the 0.43 API for communicating with the Niantic servers. However, not mentioning names but people on other botting communities has found out API level 0.45 is starting to be enforced. FPM (Fast Pokemon Map) is currently down, and may be down forever. Would it be safe to continue botting again since I can see another ban wave coming?

[Jcolomar]

At this time, the .45 API has been forced, currently we would recommend stopping your scanners/bot or may be easily flagged

[BaiqingL]

Yep, Niantic played us again. Well done.

Guys, this time the RE team work fast. They have being RE 0.45 since it came out and just received a successful ping from 0.45

The API will be updated to 0.45, please wait and do not bot for now.

[Gobberwart]

Let's be honest... botting is really no more or less safe than it's ever been. If niantic really wants to crack down on punishing botters, it wouldn't be THAT hard for them to identify bot behaviour, regardless of api version.

Nobody will ever try to guarantee that any release of a bot is safe from banning.

If you can't accept that risk, don't bot.

[reigelgallarde]

a bot is a bot... and is always never safe.. haha

Ya, anyway, for your information, new API (0.45) is REed by Pokeframer and it is them who shared the hashing. So....

I know it sound weird, remember to credit them when using 0.45 API, and hopefully they will share again when the next update happens again....

Do you have any link to get this 0.45 API ?
Thx

@Cptspal not yet.

Wait for PogoDev RE to finish reversing the hash routine and rebuilding the algorithm.

I noticed you guys switched to another repo for the pgoapi ? Any rationale behind this ?

  git clone in ./src/pgoapi exists with URL https://github.com/pogodevorg/pgoapi.git/
  The plan is to install the git repository https://github.com/sebastienvercammen/pgoapi.git
