Instapy: list index out of range - Class g47SY - Sorry, this page isn't available

[Tachenz]

Gentlemen - looks like a lot of people are getting this one. It happens when the Instagram throws an error - "Sorry, this page is not available" (like for this user - https://www.instagram.com/dj5150_ktownoakland/ ) . Meaning the user does not exist. That is at least one case I've encountered. Happens once every few hours or so if using follow followers.

Summoning the Great Wizards @uluQulu and @sionking and @timgrossmann :)

Bunch of issues opened for this one but without a definite fix:

So no one knows how to fix this?

On util.py file, replace:

followers_count = format_number((browser.find_elements_by_xpath(
    "//span[contains(@class,'g47SY')]")[1].text))

With:

topCount_elements = browser.find_elements_by_xpath(
    "//span[contains(@class,'g47SY')]")
if topCount_elements:
    followers_count = format_number(topCount_elements[1].text)
else:
    logger.error("Failed to get followers count of '{}'  ~empty list".format(username))
    followers_count = None

And, replace:

following_count = format_number(browser.find_elements_by_xpath(
    "//span[contains(@class,'g47SY')]")[2].text)

With:

topCount_elements = browser.find_elements_by_xpath(
    "//span[contains(@class,'g47SY')]")
if topCount_elements:
    following_count = format_number(topCount_elements[2].text)
else:
    logger.error("Failed to get following count of '{}'  ~empty list".format(username))
    following_count = None

On unfollow_util.py file, replace :

allfollowers = format_number((browser.find_elements_by_xpath(
    "//span[contains(@class,'g47SY')]")[1].text))

With:

topCount_elements = browser.find_elements_by_xpath(
    "//span[contains(@class,'g47SY')]")
if topCount_elements:
    allfollowers = format_number(topCount_elements[1].text)
else:
    logger.error("Error occured during getting the followers count of '{}'  ~empty list".format(username))
    allfollowers = None

And replace:

allfollowing = format_number((browser.find_elements_by_xpath(
    "//span[contains(@class,'g47SY')]")[2].text))

With:

topCount_elements = browser.find_elements_by_xpath(
    "//span[contains(@class,'g47SY')]")
if topCount_elements:
    allfollowing = format_number(topCount_elements[2].text)
else:
    logger.error("Error occured during getting the following count of '{}'  ~empty list".format(username))
    allfollowing = None

Hope it helps!
Based on @uluQulu proposal!
