async function unblur() { try { const teasers = await fetch("https://api.gotinder.com/v2/fast-match/teasers", { headers: { "X-Auth-Token": localStorage.getItem("TinderWeb/APIToken"), platform: "android", }, }) .then((res) => res.json()) .then((res) => res.data.results); const teaserEls = document.querySelectorAll( ".Expand.enterAnimationContainer > div:nth-child(1)" ); teasers.forEach((teaser, index) => { const teaserEl = teaserEls[index]; if (!teaserEl) return; const teaserImage = teaser.user && teaser.user.photos?.[0]?.id ? `https://preview.gotinder.com/${teaser.user._id}/original_${teaser.user.photos[0].id}.jpeg` : ""; if (teaserImage) { teaserEl.style.backgroundImage = `url(${teaserImage})`; } }); } catch (error) { console.error("Error fetching teasers:", error); } } unblur();

The provided async JavaScript function, unblur(), interacts with the Tinder website or app and performs the following actions:

What the code does:

  1. Fetches teaser profiles from Tinder's API:

    • Makes an async API call to Tinder's https://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").
  2. Processes the response:

    • The API response is converted to JSON format using .then((res) => res.json()).
    • Extracts the results property from res.data (takes teasers).
  3. 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).
  4. 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.
  5. Handles errors:

    • Any errors during the fetch or processing steps are caught in the catch block and logged to the console.
  6. 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.
