Flow 1: Initial Block Page

This flow applies to websites like Hyatt.com where Kasada blocks you immediately when you first access the site with a 429 status code.

Overview

When you make your first GET request to the website, you'll receive a 429 status code with an HTML response containing a Kasada script reference. You must solve this challenge before you can access any content on the site.

Initial Request

The response will be a 429 status code with HTML that looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<script>window.KPSDK={};KPSDK.now=typeof performance!=='undefined'&&performance.now?performance.now.bind(performance):Date.now.bind(Date);KPSDK.start=KPSDK.now();</script>
<script src="/149e9513-01fa-4fb0-aad4-566afd725d1b/2d206a39-8ed7-437e-a3be-862e0f06eea3/ips.js?tkrm_alpekz_s1.3=0ZhprgzXdlDhhn0esTCQPfWjA2AeaGW50gpHSJVGSjRUPSrKJRQmsSZjTK8HhAmopVcLq2dfwum0SJmpM0Kz5j2DupTTI4OB1PLl7dhhJIVFAKsCsEoeL4hVm2tQjyFkyPUu42RgZ0dutvGd2xxDbpRLCWjV9MlMysNPzGvUTyg8CBX&x-kpsdk-im=AAIHh6ySRFXhFWAJcYSdsr-BStey6j5sKkK9HXfcJJ2BnB2_eCdWiiJjVu0OEOBEhsIFyZ4CgRIcu6EDyMf-WS88HRSC8PKJm2lZpq0ZTummEHy855H_HBuLSiiUmGQSiPUbJ74rXDFbWw"></script>
</body>
</html>

Step 1: Parse the Script Path

You need to extract the script path from the HTML response. The script URL will look like:

/149e9513-01fa-4fb0-aad4-566afd725d1b/2d206a39-8ed7-437e-a3be-862e0f06eea3/ips.js?...

You can parse this using our SDKs:

scriptPath, err := kasada.ParseScriptPath(reader)
if err != nil {
    // Handle the error
}
// scriptPath will look like: /149e9513-01fa-4fb0-aad4-566afd725d1b/2d206a39-8ed7-437e-a3be-862e0f06eea3/ips.js?...

from hyper_sdk.kasada import parse_script_path

script_path = parse_script_path(html_content)
# script_path will look like: /149e9513-01fa-4fb0-aad4-566afd725d1b/2d206a39-8ed7-437e-a3be-862e0f06eea3/ips.js?...

Step 2: Fetch the ips.js Script

Make a GET request to the script path you parsed. Make sure to:

Use the full URL: https://www.example.com{scriptPath}
Match browser headers exactly
Maintain the same header order as Chrome

Save the JavaScript response body as you'll need it for the next step.

Step 3: Generate Payload via API

Now you'll use the Hyper Solutions API to generate the payload and headers needed for the /tl request.

Refer to the Kasada and the SDK documentation for accurate fields.

payload, headers, err := session.GenerateKasadaPayload(ctx, &hyper.KasadaPayloadInput{
    // Kasada payload configuration
})
if err != nil {
    // Handle the error
}
// payload and headers are ready for the /tl request

import { KasadaPayloadInput, generateKasadaPayload } from 'hyper-sdk-js';

const result = await generateKasadaPayload(session, new KasadaPayloadInput(
    // kasada payload input fields
));

const payload = result.payload;
const headers = result.headers;

The payload returned by the API is base64-encoded. You must decode it before posting to /tl.

Step 4: POST to /tl Endpoint

POST the decoded payload to the /tl endpoint:

https://www.example.com/149e9513-01fa-4fb0-aad4-566afd725d1b/2d206a39-8ed7-437e-a3be-862e0f06eea3/tl

Critical requirements:

Content-Type must be application/octet-stream
Include all headers returned by the API (x-kpsdk-im, x-kpsdk-ct, x-kpsdk-dt)
Match browser header order exactly
POST the decoded (binary) payload

Step 5: Parse /tl Response

A successful response will return 200 status code with:

Response body:

{
    "reload": true
}

Critical response headers to save:

x-kpsdk-ct: Token for subsequent requests (also in cookies)
x-kpsdk-st: Timestamp value needed for generating POW (x-kpsdk-cd) headers
set-cookie: Kasada cookies (e.g., tkrm_alpekz_s1.3, tkrm_alpekz_s1.3-ssn)

Example response headers:

x-kpsdk-ct: 02Rrkf95YyBbq2lGyws6SFVp...
x-kpsdk-st: 1759149934586
set-cookie: tkrm_alpekz_s1.3=02Rrkf95YyBbq2lGyws6SFVp...; Max-Age=86400; Path=/; HttpOnly
set-cookie: tkrm_alpekz_s1.3-ssn=02Rrkf95YyBbq2lGyws6SFVp...; Max-Age=86400; Path=/; HttpOnly; Secure; SameSite=None

Store these values in your session:

Update your cookie jar with the Set-Cookie headers
Save x-kpsdk-st for future POW generation
Save x-kpsdk-ct if you need to include it in request headers (check if browser does)

Step 6: Retry Original Request

Now retry your original request to the website with the Kasada cookies. The site should no longer serve you a 429 block page.

Make sure to:

Include all Kasada cookies in your request
Maintain proper headers and header order

Summary

The complete flow:

✅ Initial GET → Receive 429 with block page
✅ Parse script path from HTML
✅ GET request to ips.js script
✅ Generate payload via Hyper Solutions API
✅ POST decoded payload to /tl endpoint
✅ Parse response headers and cookies
✅ Retry original request with cookies

You have now successfully bypassed Kasada's initial block page challenge!
