Instapy: My Bot is skipping everything...

[tolgaada]

Expected Behavior

It worked just fine but then within 40 mins it changed.

Current Behavior

.... is not a massive follower with the relationship ratio of 0.06 ~skipping user
Now it is skipping everybody and everything. Not doing anything

Possible Solution (optional)

InstaPy configuration

session = InstaPy(username=insta_username,
password=insta_password,
headless_browser=False,
multi_logs=True)

try:
session.login()

# settings
session.set_relationship_bounds(enabled=True,
             potency_ratio=-1.21,
              delimit_by_numbers=True,
               max_followers=99999,
                max_following=99999,
                 min_followers=45,
                  min_following=22)

session.follow_likers (['reflectionsmn' ,'schecterguitarsofficial', 'j4r3dd1n3s', 'robscallon', 'steventerreberry', 'deathcore.memes' 'polyphia'], photos_grab_amount = 10, follow_likers_per_photo = 10, randomize=True, sleep_delay=60, interact=True)
session.set_do_follow(enabled=True, percentage=50, times=2)
session.set_do_comment(enabled=True, percentage=30)
session.set_comments(['talent!'])
session.set_dont_include(['friend1', 'friend2', 'friend3'])
session.set_dont_like([])

# actions
session.follow_user_followers(['j4r3dd1n3s' , 'robscallon', 'steventerreberry', 'reflectionsmn',], amount=10, randomize=False)
session.like_by_tags(["deathcore", "djent",], amount=5)
session.follow_by_tags(['deathcore','guitar', 'djent', 'thall'], amount=10)

except Exception as exc:
# if changes to IG layout, upload the file to help us locate the change
if isinstance(exc, NoSuchElementException):
file_path = os.path.join(gettempdir(), '{}.html'.format(time.strftime('%Y%m%d-%H%M%S')))
with open(file_path, 'wb') as fp:
fp.write(session.browser.page_source.encode('utf8'))
print('{0}\nIf raising an issue, please also upload the file located at:\n{1}\n{0}'.format(
'*' * 70, file_path))
# full stacktrace when raising Github issue
raise

finally:
# end the bot session
session.end()

Are you sure it's skipping everything? Your potency_ratio is negative (-1.21) which is pretty rare. You should try to set your potency_ratio=0.80 and see what happen.

Good luck!

[tolgaada]

Hi thanks for the reply. Could you tell me where to change the ratio?

[HansDaigle]

Of course, here :

session.set_relationship_bounds(enabled=True,
             potency_ratio=-1.21,                     <--- change to 0.80 or a positive value
             delimit_by_numbers=True,
             max_followers=99999,
             max_following=99999,
             min_followers=45,
             min_following=22)

[tolgaada]

I don't know why, but the Bot is still skipping about 90% of every user

[HansDaigle]

Before the ~skipping user the log will always tell you why the user was skipped.

[tolgaada]

This is the line im getting:
_info.cc(164)] Display::DrawAndSwap, LatencyInfo vector size 102 is too big.
INFO [2018-07-04 06:20:27] [user] User: user >> followers: 7577 | following: 19 | relationship ratio: 398.79
Not a valid user: User user's following count is less than minimum limit ~skipping user

[HansDaigle]

So if you read the error you can see that you are filtering user with a low following count.

session.set_relationship_bounds(enabled=True,
             potency_ratio=0.80,                    
             delimit_by_numbers=True,         #<--- =False will ignore min, max limit below
             max_followers=99999,
             max_following=99999,
             min_followers=45,                       #<--- Mine is set to 45
             min_following=22)                       #<--- Mine is also set to 45

[tolgaada]

Hmm thanks. But it is still the same issue :/

[tolgaada]

It's working now! Thank you sooo much :)

[HansDaigle]

Can you close the issue :) ?
