Describe your issue

Hi

Since a day or two i got this error, the bot wouldnt like anything anymore . Follow, unfollow ,comment and etc. works normaly.

[Rouxcoucou]

I have the same error since yesterday night...

[stas2z]

Same since yesterday evening, it stops at media_info
seems like media/{id}/info api request is forbidden (405) atm

[JULIANCRACK]

same here since morning (paris time)

[sh0ked]

same here since morning (+7 UTC)

[ohld]

@maxdevblock @sudoguy I think we have broken something. Please check this ASAP.

[maxdevblock]

@maxdevblock @sudoguy I think we have broken something. Please check this ASAP.

Don't think it's an instabot issue. I got same error with older versions.
Instagram has currently got an outage issue in US and EU.

[ohld]

Have we somehow tackle this? Maybe add some description message in instabot or some error handling to be more descriptive and less frightened?

[maxdevblock]

Have we somehow tackle this? Maybe add some description message in instabot or some error handling to be more descriptive and less frightened?

I'm updating users on telegram group

[maxdevblock]

Seems the problem is only with
'media/{media_id}/info/'.format(media_id=media_id)
requests.

[ohld]

So what is the best way to do having this problem?

[maxdevblock]

Ok. Got the problem. Don't know how to solve (if we can solve or have to wait).
The call 'media/{media_id}/info/'.format(media_id=media_id)
is returning only

{'logged_in_user': { ALL_INFO_ABOUT_USER },
 'status': 'ok'}

but not items so the def get_media_info is failing.

[maxdevblock]

I'm curretly running a test every 30 min. If something changes I'll write here and in telegram

[barclaey]

Hi guys,

I think I found the problem.

In api.py change media_info(self, media_id) to:

    def media_info(self, media_id):
        url = 'media/{media_id}/info/'.format(media_id=media_id)
        return self.send_request(url)

That seems to do the trick.

[lukasz00500]

I have The same issue, but old version of this bot work good

[maxdevblock]

@barclaey you're right! It works without sending json_data... :scream:

[maxdevblock]

@barclaey it's working. I can't get the reason why... But working!
Send the pull request

[silvio2810]

@maxdevblock I've tried your trick, and for me it doesn't work as well. :(

[maxdevblock]

@silvio2810 sent a pull req now with other fixes.

[silvio2810]

@maxdevblock

def media_info(self, media_id):
url = 'media/{media_id}/info/'.format(media_id=media_id)
return self.send_request(url, '')

I've seen that pull, and I'm testing, but nothing!

[ohld]

What else can we try?

[maxdevblock]

@silvio2810 no... @barclaey was right
return self.send_request(url)
But I fixed tests too cause in tests the req was POST, now it's GET. With fixed tests, Travis doesn't fail and pull req can pass.

758

[silvio2810]

I've seen the tests and the change that you made from POST to GET. I've tested it as well but nothing changed. I'm sorry to go against you @maxdevblock and @barclaey. :'(

[maxdevblock]

@silvio2810

It's working for me, both python2 and 3.

did u install instabot via pip or git clone?

If u installed via:

• git: edit local files
• pip: edit sys files
• both: edit sys files, not local...

To know were your sys instabot package is,
python -c "import instabot; print(instabot.__file__)"

[renevt]

@maxdevblock

This fix doesnt work for me either.
Mabye you can help me out.

Thank you

[maxdevblock]

@renevt are you editing
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/instabot/api/api.py
?

[renevt]

@maxdevblock hmmmz let me think
im not sure let me figure it out

[maxdevblock]

@renevt
ok try to run a script .py

from instabot import Bot

bot = Bot()
bot.login()

media_id = '1957463722880884083'
pk = bot.get_media_info(media_id)[0]['pk']
bot.logger.warn("\033[1;32m{}\033[0m".format(media_id == str(pk)))

If the green warn is True the fix is working

Really strange im such a noob why does it not work

[maxdevblock]

@renevt send me the first lines of the script you're using, from first line to bot = Bot()

[renevt]

@maxdevblock

im using the multi_script_CLI script for most of the times

import getpass
import os
import random
import sys
import time

from tqdm import tqdm

sys.path.append(os.path.join(sys.path[0], '../'))
from instabot import Bot

bot = Bot(filter_business_accounts=False)
bot.login()

Thank you

[maxdevblock]

@renevt ok...
comment out
sys.path.append(os.path.join(sys.path[0], '../'))
to
# sys.path.append(os.path.join(sys.path[0], '../'))
this line is overriding import from system installed module and importing the local one.

If you have Teamviewer and the time to help me
Can you help me out with this?

Im using a synology NAS
i dont know to go to
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/instabot/api/api.py

im using python 2

[maxdevblock]

@renevt
to edit the file simply
sudo nano /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/instabot/api/api.py
you'll have to type your password

[renevt]

@maxdevblock

Thank you but the NAS is using a sort of linux so some command doesnt work . If do have really read a lot about linux. But what i try to say the nano command doesnt work.
:/lib/python2.7/site-packages/instabot/api$ sudo nano /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/instabot/api/api.py
Password:
sudo: nano: command not found

but so far i have locate the api file
:/lib/python2.7/site-packages/instabot/api$ ls

[maxdevblock]

@renevt
remove your system installed instabot

pip uninstall instabot

and edit your local instabot/api/api.py
as we said.

don't forget to uncomment line
# sys.path.append(os.path.join(sys.path[0], '../'))
to original
sys.path.append(os.path.join(sys.path[0], '../'))
in your multi_script_CLI.py

[renevt]

@renevt
create a new directory somewhere, cd to the dir and

git clone --single-branch --branch fix-issue-#756 https://github.com/maxdevblock/instabot.git

this will download my branch with the fix.
Try the multi_script_CLI that you find there in examples folder.

[kidd0ua]

@maxdevblock git clone --single-branch --branch fix-issue-#756 https://github.com/maxdevblock/instabot.git it works for me. Thanks!

When we call check media, it sends request to 'media/{media_id}/info/'.format(media_id=media_id), but as it is returning error 405 that means the specified request HTTP method was received and recognized by the server, but the server has rejected that particular method for the requested resource. so we can guess Instagram has made some changes code is all good, but like all other endpoints, the API is working.
So the temporary solution is to skip checking for media until we found any other solution.

You're right, but sending GET instead of POST actually works.

For me autopost doesn't work well. I get an error with the current version, and strange thing is that the autopost in the fix-instabot works only once after installation and then it gets error. Anyone else with the same issue? This started happening at the same time when get_media error appeared.

[maxdevblock]

@alminkokasibovic autopost is totally another issue.

[iamalminko]

Is there a thread for autopost as well?

[maxdevblock]

Yes but I'm waiting for this issue to get fixed to update di PR

[Ritchie001]

Hello Max having the same problem got your branch Max ( open it in a new directory) but when i added my accounts 405 showed with liking (commenting does work!!!)

So we'll have to wait then.

have a nice weekend

[ImranDoet]

Installed instabot from the branch that had the fix.
Still doesn't work: image

[maxdevblock]

@ImranDoet
did you previously install instabot via pip?
In this case, the imported package is the system one not the local, so the patch have no effect.

[f4depo]

I've download latest version of code but still giving 405 error... :/ image

Anyhow, that means you've got instabot in your system directories. You have to wait the pip package to be update.

[ImranDoet]

It's merged isnt it?

[maxdevblock]

It's merged isnt it?

nope.

Look #758 still waiting for review.

[maxdevblock]

Everybody who installed via pip and applied the patch on their system installed instabot have solved the issue.
The fix in #758 is the solution.

[renevt]

@maxdevblock

Thank you for your hard work but i dont get it how to fix it.
I rent a linux server since yesterday so i can use all the commands.

[ImranDoet]
