Instagram-private-api: Consent Required

[delmotte]

Hello,

Sometimes I'm getting this issue on some accounts I have :

{ [RequestError: consent_required]
   name: 'RequestError',
   message: 'consent_required',
   json: 
    { message: 'consent_required',
      consent_data: 
       { headline: 'Updates to Our Terms and Data Policy',
         content: 'We\'ve updated our Terms and made some changes to our Data Policy. Please take a moment to review these changes and let us know that you agree to them.\n\nYou need to finish reviewing this information before you can use Instagram.',
         button_text: 'Review Now' },
      status: 'fail' } }

I saw a solution in PHP that should be quick to add but don't really have enough knowledge of this lib to make a PR : https://github.com/mgp25/Instagram-API/issues/2327

The endpoint will be:

consent/existing_user_flow/

This is as and example. The flow from mine side is(you can adjust it to your needs):

const consent_required_flow_1 = (Client, session) => {
    return new Client.Request(session)
        .setMethod('POST')
        .setResource('consent')
        .setData({
            _uid: session.profile.user_id,
            _uuid: session.guid,
        })
        .signPayload()
        .send()
}

const consent_required_flow_2 = (Client, session) => {
    return new Client.Request(session)
        .setMethod('POST')
        .setResource('consent')
        .setData({
            current_screen_key: 'qp_intro',
            _uid: session.profile.user_id,
            _uuid: session.guid,
            updates:JSON.stringify({"existing_user_intro_state":"2"})
        })
        .signPayload()
        .send()
}

const consent_required_flow_3 = (Client, session) => {
    return new Client.Request(session)
        .setMethod('POST')
        .setResource('consent')
        .setData({
            current_screen_key: 'tos_and_two_age_button',
            _uid: session.profile.user_id,
            _uuid: session.guid,
            updates:JSON.stringify({"age_consent_state":"2","tos_data_policy_consent_state":"2"})
        })
        .signPayload()
        .send()
}

return consent_required_flow_1(Client, session)
.then(() => {
    return consent_required_flow_2(Client, session)
})
.then(() => {
    return consent_required_flow_3(Client, session)
})

This feature is in the lib already. Took me a week to find out...

@Zhincore Where is it, in the lib? How did you use it?

[Zhincore]

@jordymeow There is a consent repository. All I do is this:

if(ig.consent.auto() === true){
  // Continue
}else{
  // Fail
}

It does all the work itself

[jordymeow]

Indeed, it does. Thanks a lot :)
