Instapy: Error: Couldn't get user profile. Moving on..

[tanmald]

I can't seem to be able to use "follow_commenters" today. Yesterday it was working fine. I already updated instaPy, but I still get the same error, even though I can see Chrome is at the user profile - it seems that it cant select any pictures, and thus it gives this error.

Does anyone want to share any of their scripts they have up and working? I am working on a project for a fashion blogger and would like any tips possible! This is a feature I would love to have working though...

Anyone has any updates on this?
I think the problem is with the xpath or updated class names by Instagram
