Instapy: Simple 24/7 bot metod, logs adjustments, visuality improvements

[mateuszpokojowczyk]

Features provided here

I've just made few changes to my config file, so it will:

• run in infinite loop without any cron or schedule, just a simple python loop
• delete every loop _descriptions_ from logs/general.log in order to save some space as we don't need it anymore
• make your bot available to run 24/7 due to Instagram web limits (#1140)
• clear terminal window on each loop in order to make it look _cleaner_

Here is my config file:
quickstart.py.zip

Great work!

How about adding this?:

linelist = open("logs/general.log").readlines()
newfile = open('logs/general.log', 'w')
_os.remove("/root/InstaPy/logs/stef_himself_cookie.pkl")
print("Cookie File Removed!")_
flag = 1

Not sure if it works like this, haven't tried it yet. Will wait till the 24h are over as you advised. (:

@stefhimself I wouldn't do that in a loop, just delete the cookie once (now, when it doesn't work) and I think it will just work in the future, but deleting the cookie every time is probably not a good idea to my knowledge.

We should test how long will a cookie work with this settings, but I think it will work until Instagram ban you somehow (which shouldn't happen, because we use very safe settings).

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying this! :+1:

[mateuszpokojowczyk]

@stefhimself Just wait now at least 24 hours, delete the cookie once, create settings based on mine and remember to set bypass_suspicious_attempt=True.

If you do that all, you should be just fine :)

[mateuszpokojowczyk]

@stefhimself You're welcome.

[ghost]

@mateuszpokojowczyk I'll do exactly as you described! Will keep you updated!

[ghost]

I saw you have in the very last row an amount of 100 unfollows.

Is that an error or what are the thoughts behind?

session.unfollow_users(
amount=100, onlyInstapyFollowed=True, onlyInstapyMethod='FIFO', sleep_delay=1800)
session.end()

[mateuszpokojowczyk]

@stefhimself My mistake, you should set it to 20.

Actually, as you see, I've made few unfollow tasks, so I'll be sure I will unfollow every user bot has followed (if error occurs at previous unfollow task), it also increases the time of following people (lowers chance to get banned).
You could delete 1 of 3 of unfollowing tasks, but I haven't tested it yet.

Also, if you want to unfollow users your bot hasn't followed, you can just set onlyInstapyFollowed=False

Here is the updated file :
quickstart.py.zip

@stefhimself

This is the config that should work, but hasn't been tested yet.

How much do you earn from followers via this script on average per day? @mateuszpokojowczyk

[mateuszpokojowczyk]

@kevindjf Hard to say, depends on day, haven't been testing it long enough to make it average.

[kevindjf]

Not use comment why ?

[mateuszpokojowczyk]

@kevindjf I don't want to write something about somebody that I actually don't think it's true, so I'm not gonna say "this photo is amazing!" when I haven't even seen it.

[kevindjf]

Ok thank you for your answers, I will test your script on one of my accounts

[mateuszpokojowczyk]

@kevindjf No problem, you can also try the other config (6 comments above), because it might work even better, but note that it hasn't been tested yet, so I can't give you any guarantee.

[cbyrt]

Anyway to enable the comments please?
Have tried to insert
session.set_do_comment(enabled=True, percentage=40)
session.set_comments(['Great shot', '])
session.set_dont_include(['friend1', 'friend2', 'friend3'])
but im just getting no where.
Thank you for the hard work everyone

[Kurt6]

@cbyrt can you send your whole Quickstart.py? are your session.set setting above your interact setting like, liking/following ect?

[ghost]

The script works, but is not a infinite loop. In the end is the session ending after the four like and follow sessions. there is the end(jump back) of the while loop missing.

quickstart.py.zip
Thank you for having a look @Kurt6

[Kurt6]

@cbyrt on line 43, you havesession.set_upper_follower_count(limit=0), I'm not sure if this is affecting it or not but I would suggest either removing this line or set up an upper follower count limit.

Is your bot liking pictures with that script?

[cbyrt]

@Kurt6 Fantastic! Thank you.
Yes, working.

[mateuszpokojowczyk]

@stefhimself Any solution for this?

Hey, run this in a docker environment. Link your customized quickstart.py in the container and set the restart option to always. Every run in an clean environment, voilà
