Tinder API documentation

http://rsty.org/

I've sniffed most of the Tinder API to see how it works. You can use this to create bots (etc) very trivially. Some example python bot code is here -> https://gist.github.com/rtt/5a2e0cfa638c938cca59 (horribly quick and dirty, you've been warned!)

Note: this was written in April/May 2014 and the API may have changed since. I have nothing to do with Tinder, nor their API, and I do not offer any support for anything you may build on top of this

API Details

Host api.gotinder.com
Protocol SSL only

Request headers

Header name Description / example Required?
X-Auth-Token A UUID4 format authentication token obtained via the /auth api endpoint Yes
Content-type application/json Yes
app_version 3 no
platform ios no
User-agent User-Agent: Tinder/3.0.4 (iPhone; iOS 7.1; Scale/2.00) Yes
os_version 700001 No

Note: all curl examples below omit headers for brevity -- you'll need to add the required headers shown in the table above

Authenticating

You'll need to supply a facebook auth token and an associated facebook id.

> curl -X POST https://api.gotinder.com/auth --data '{"facebook_token": fb_token, "facebook_id": fb_user_id}'

The easiest way to get this is to go here, log in and then pick the auth token out of the URL you are redirected to.

Response:

{
    "token": "8c839cee-0980-4b73-861b-8739cb597f57",
    "user": { ... }, 
    "globals": { ... },
    "versions": { ... }
}

Updating your profile

> curl -X POST https://api.tinder.com/profile --data '{"age_filter_min": 26, "gender": 1, "age_filter_max": 32, "distance_filter": 14}'

Parameter info:

Gender 0: Male
1: Female
age_filter_min int of min age match
age_filter_max int of max age match
distance_filter max search radius in kilometers

Reporting a user

> curl -X POST 'https://api.gotinder.com/report/{_id} --data '{"cause": cause_id}'

Note cause_id: should be 1 or 2, (1 is spam, 2 is inappropriate/offensive)

Message sending

Send a message to a match. Note you'll get a 500 back if you try to send a message to someone who isn't a match

curl 'https://api.gotindaer.com/user/matches/{_id} --data '{"message": "your message here"}'

response:

{
    "_id":"53467235483cb56c475cc1d6",
    "from":"53430689ab3c04c13e006ffb",
    "to":"533a59ea52046fc077002815",
    "match_id":"53464b0728ac73976d0a3fbf",
    "sent_date":"2014-04-10T10:28:05.764Z",
    "message":"hi!",
    "created_date":"2014-04-10T10:28:05.764Z"
}

Updating your location

curl 'https://api.gotindaer.com/user/ping --data '{"lat": latitude, "lon": longitude}'

{
    "status": 200,
    "error": "position change not significant"
}

    "deleted_lists": [],
    "last_activity_date": "2014-04-10T10:17:54.379Z"
}
