2FA API authentication issues with server side code

srckat · October 28, 2025, 9:46pm

Hey,

I am trying to make a Discord linking system, but I am having trouble trying to get a user ID from the API based on a username. I found out that the endpoint specifically for that purpose no longer exists, so I tried using the search endpoint, but limiting it to one result.

Here’s the issue.

I just cannot authenticate for some reason. I created a separate account specifically for this project, which acts as a user account to make API requests, but the email verification code keeps getting in the way, meaning I have no way to properly authenticate with the API. Is there a way around this?

You authenticate with a 2FA code, rather then depend on an email code. Here’s how I implemented something similair:

github.com/Codixer/shield-bot

src/utility/vrchat/user.ts

main


      
          export async function loginAndGetCurrentUser(
            username: string,
            password: string,
          ) {
            let cookie = loadCookie();
            let headers: any = { "User-Agent": USER_AGENT };
            if (cookie) headers["Cookie"] = cookie;
          
            // Try with cookie first
            try {
              const response = await axios.get(
                "https://api.vrchat.cloud/api/1/auth/user",
                { headers },
              );
              const setCookie = response.headers["set-cookie"];
              if (setCookie && setCookie.length > 0) saveCookie(setCookie.join("; "));
              return response.data;
            } catch (err: any) {
              if (!err.response || err.response.status !== 401) {
                throw err;
