AutoTeam-F ChatGPT Team Rotation & Free Account Generation

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

AutoTeam-F is a Python-based tool for automating ChatGPT Team account rotation, batch free Personal account generation, and Codex OAuth authentication sync to CLIProxyAPI (CPA). It uses Playwright for browser automation, FastAPI for the web backend, and Vue 3 for the dashboard.

F = Fix + Free: it fixes blocking bugs from the upstream cnitlrt/AutoTeam and adds batch free-account production.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• uv package manager
• A deployed cloudflare_temp_email instance (recommended mail backend)

Linux

git clone https://github.com/ZRainbow1275/AutoTeam-F.git
cd AutoTeam-F
bash setup.sh
# setup.sh runs: uv sync && uv run playwright install chromium

Windows / macOS

git clone https://github.com/ZRainbow1275/AutoTeam-F.git
cd AutoTeam-F
uv sync
uv run playwright install chromium

Docker (recommended for production)

git clone https://github.com/ZRainbow1275/AutoTeam-F.git
cd AutoTeam-F
mkdir -p data && cp .env.example data/.env
# Edit data/.env with your configuration
docker compose up -d

---

Configuration

Create a .env file (or data/.env for Docker). First-run wizard auto-generates it:

uv run autoteam api  # triggers guided setup on first run

Key .env Variables

# Mail provider: cf_temp_email (default/recommended) or maillab
MAIL_PROVIDER=cf_temp_email
MAIL_BASE_URL=https://your-cf-temp-email.workers.dev

# If using maillab (upstream-compatible legacy)
# MAIL_PROVIDER=maillab
# MAIL_BASE_URL=https://your-cloudmail-instance.com

# OpenAI admin/master account
OPENAI_EMAIL=[e-mail]
OPENAI_PASSWORD=your_password

# CLIProxyAPI (CPA) sync target
CPA_BASE_URL=https://your-cpa-instance.com
CPA_API_KEY=$CPA_API_KEY

# AutoTeam-F API protection
API_KEY=$AUTOTEAM_API_KEY

# Team workspace settings
TEAM_WORKSPACE_ID=your_workspace_id
TARGET_MEMBER_COUNT=5

# Reconcile behavior
RECONCILE_KICK_ORPHAN=false
RECONCILE_KICK_GHOST=false

Mail Provider Notes

• cf_temp_email (default): Cloudflare Workers-based, widely tested, good OpenAI domain allowlist compatibility
• maillab: Legacy maillab/cloud-mail backend; must be set explicitly — no longer the default
• On startup, AutoTeam-F fingerprint-sniffs the base URL and warns if provider/URL mismatch is detected (prevents silent "login success → create mailbox 401" failures)

Key Workflows

1. Batch Generate Free Personal Accounts

The "F" in AutoTeam-F's key feature: register accounts → master invites to Team → accounts leave workspace → Personal OAuth stored.

Via Web: Dashboard → "账号池操作" → "生成免费号" → set count → start.

Via API:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"target": 5, "leave_workspace": true}' \
  http://localhost:8787/api/tasks/fill

Constraints: baseline + new_batch ≤ 4 (Team seat limit). AutoTeam-F auto-shrinks the batch if exceeded.

2. Smart Rotation

Accounts with exhausted Codex quota are moved to standby. When standby accounts recover quota, they're promoted back to active before registering new ones.

uv run autoteam rotate 5
# Equivalent API:
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"target": 5}' \
  http://localhost:8787/api/tasks/rotate

3. Fix 401 "Must be part of this workspace"

API_KEY="$(grep '^API_KEY' .env | cut -d= -f2)"

# Step 1: Diagnose
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  http://localhost:8787/api/admin/diagnose | jq

# Step 2: Hot-fix account_id (no re-login needed)
curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  http://localhost:8787/api/admin/fix-account-id | jq

4. Reconcile Ghost/Orphan Accounts

Identifies: orphaned seats (workspace has seat, no local auth), mismatched accounts, exhausted-but-not-abandoned, ghost accounts.

# Safe dry run first
uv run autoteam reconcile --dry-run

# Apply fixes (behavior controlled by RECONCILE_KICK_ORPHAN / RECONCILE_KICK_GHOST in .env)
uv run autoteam reconcile

5. CPA Bidirectional Sync

# Push local active accounts → CPA
uv run autoteam sync

# Pull CPA accounts → local (import external auth)
uv run autoteam pull-cpa

---

Account State Machine

registered → active → standby → (recover) → active
                   ↘ (exhausted, no recovery) → abandoned
                   
standby: quota exhausted, waiting for recovery
active: has valid Codex quota
auth_invalid: 401/403 on check → needs re-OAuth
network_error: transient DNS/timeout/5xx → retried next cycle (not marked invalid)

Failure log: Registration failures are persisted to register_failures.json with categories: phone_required, duplicate, kick_failed, oauth_failed.

Python Integration Examples

Check Account Status Programmatically

import httpx
import os

API_KEY = os.environ["AUTOTEAM_API_KEY"]
BASE_URL = "http://localhost:8787"

headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}

with httpx.Client() as client:
    # Get all accounts
    accounts = client.get(f"{BASE_URL}/api/accounts", headers=headers).json()
    
    active = [a for a in accounts if a["status"] == "active"]
    standby = [a for a in accounts if a["status"] == "standby"]
    
    print(f"Active: {len(active)}, Standby: {len(standby)}")

    # Trigger rotation if below threshold
    if len(active) < 3:
        resp = client.post(
            f"{BASE_URL}/api/tasks/rotate",
            headers=headers,
            json={"target": 5}
        )
        task = resp.json()
        print(f"Rotation task started: {task['task_id']}")

Poll Task Until Complete

import httpx
import time
import os

API_KEY = os.environ["AUTOTEAM_API_KEY"]
BASE_URL = "http://localhost:8787"
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}

def run_task_and_wait(endpoint: str, payload: dict, timeout: int = 600) -> dict:
    with httpx.Client(timeout=30) as client:
        resp = client.post(
            f"{BASE_URL}/api/tasks/{endpoint}",
            headers=headers,
            json=payload
        )
        resp.raise_for_status()
        task_id = resp.json()["task_id"]
        
        deadline = time.time() + timeout
        while time.time() < deadline:
            status = client.get(
                f"{BASE_URL}/api/tasks/{task_id}",
                headers=headers
            ).json()
            
            if status["state"] in ("completed", "failed", "stopped"):
                return status
            
            time.sleep(5)
        
        raise TimeoutError(f"Task {task_id} did not complete in {timeout}s")

# Generate 3 free personal accounts
result = run_task_and_wait("fill", {"target": 3, "leave_workspace": True})
()

Export Codex CLI Auth

import httpx
import json
import os

API_KEY = os.environ["AUTOTEAM_API_KEY"]
BASE_URL = "http://localhost:8787"
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}

with httpx.Client() as client:
    resp = client.get(f"{BASE_URL}/api/auth/export", headers=headers)
    auth_data = resp.json()

# Write Codex CLI format
with open(os.path.expanduser("~/.codex/auth.json"), "w") as f:
    json.dump(auth_data, f, indent=2)

print("Auth exported to ~/.codex/auth.json")

Docker Compose Reference

# docker-compose.yml (from repo)
services:
  autoteam:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "8787:8787"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/data
    environment:
      - DATA_DIR=/app/data
    restart: unless-stopped

# Start
docker compose up -d

# View logs
docker compose logs -f autoteam

# Run CLI commands inside container
docker compose exec autoteam uv run autoteam status
docker compose exec autoteam uv run autoteam reconcile --dry-run

# Restart after config change
docker compose restart autoteam

Linux host access: If CPA or mail service runs on the host, use host.docker.internal (Docker Desktop) or the host's bridge IP (172.17.0.1 typically) instead of localhost in .env.

Troubleshooting

401 "Must be part of this workspace"

Most common cause: account_id stored locally doesn't match OpenAI's records.

API_KEY="$(grep '^API_KEY' data/.env | cut -d= -f2)"
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" http://localhost:8787/api/admin/diagnose | jq
curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" http://localhost:8787/api/admin/fix-account-id | jq

Mail provider mismatch warning on startup

WARNING: MAIL_PROVIDER=cf_temp_email but base_url fingerprint suggests maillab protocol

Fix: ensure MAIL_PROVIDER in .env matches your actual deployed mail service. cf_temp_email uses Cloudflare Workers API; maillab uses the cloud-mail REST API.

Registration fails with phone_required

OpenAI began requiring phone verification for some IPs. Use a residential proxy. Check register_failures.json for categorized failure counts.

Playwright times out during registration

# Increase timeout — edit .env
PLAYWRIGHT_TIMEOUT=120000  # ms, default 60000

Common on high-latency VPS. Consider residential proxy.

Standby accounts never recover

AutoTeam-F uses 24h dedup for standby quota checks to avoid rate-limits. Force a check:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"include_standby": true}' \
  http://localhost:8787/api/tasks/check

Personal accounts invalidated after master account ban

This is a known limitation — personal accounts derived from a banned master account (via Team invite → leave → personal OAuth) will also become invalid. The accounts must be regenerated from a new master account.

Task stop is soft, not immediate

Clicking "Stop Task" completes the current account registration (~2 min) before exiting. This is by design to avoid half-registered accounts. The task will show stopping then stopped.

autoteam fill batch auto-shrinks

Team seats are capped: baseline + new_batch ≤ 4. AutoTeam-F auto-reduces batch size. To generate more, run multiple fill cycles after previous accounts have left the workspace.
