The provided async
JavaScript function, unblur()
, interacts with the Tinder website or app and performs the following actions:
What the code does:
-
Fetches teaser profiles from Tinder's API:
- Makes an
async
API call to Tinder'shttps://api.gotinder.com/v2/fast-match/teasers
endpoint. - Uses the
X-Auth-Token
, retrieved from local storage (localStorage.getItem("TinderWeb/APIToken")
), as part of the request headers to authenticate the request. - Specifies a platform header (
platform: "android"
).
- Makes an
-
Processes the response:
- The API response is converted to JSON format using
.then((res) => res.json())
. - Extracts the
results
property fromres.data
(takesteasers
).
- The API response is converted to JSON format using
-
Matches teaser images to UI elements:
- Retrieves specific HTML elements from the DOM with the selector:
.Expand.enterAnimationContainer > div:nth-child(1)
(likely corresponding to blurred teaser images displayed on the Tinder interface). - Maps the teaser profiles (
teasers
) retrieved from the API to the DOM nodes (teaserEls
).
- Retrieves specific HTML elements from the DOM with the selector:
-
Unblurs teaser images (if possible):
- For each teaser profile, checks if the teaser user's first photo exists (via
teaser.user.photos?.[0]?.id
). - Constructs the teaser image URL using Tinder's media server:
https://preview.gotinder.com/${teaser.user._id}/original_${teaser.user.photos[0].id}.jpeg
. - Sets the
backgroundImage
CSS property of the corresponding DOM element (teaserEl
) to the teaser image URL to replace the blurred placeholder.
- For each teaser profile, checks if the teaser user's first photo exists (via

Handles errors:
- Any errors during the fetch or processing steps are caught in the
catch
block and logged to the console.
- Any errors during the fetch or processing steps are caught in the

Executes the function:
- The
unblur()
function is called directly at the end to perform the unblurring process immediately.

In summary:
The code attempts to "unblur" Tinder's teaser profile images (which are usually blurred or hidden unless interacted with) by:
- Invoking Tinder's API to fetch unblurred teaser profile data.
- Using the unblurred images to replace the blurred placeholders in the UI.
Note:
- This code exploits Tinder's internal API and DOM structure to bypass the intended user experience, which may violate Tinder's Terms of Service.
- Use of this code could lead to account suspension or legal repercussions.
