Instapy: multiple accounts not working

[Banginpadr]

insta_username = 'bangi'
insta_password = 'flowers'

set headless_browser=True if you want to run InstaPy on a server

set these in instapy/settings.py if you're locating the
library in the /usr/lib/pythonX.X/ directory:
Settings.database_location = '/path/to/instapy.db'
Settings.chromedriver_location = '/path/to/chromedriver'
session = InstaPy(username='maria', password='D198d9')
session = InstaPy(username=insta_username,
password=insta_password,
headless_browser=False,
multi_logs=True)

im trying to run both my accounts but is not working any help please??

@Banginpadr I'd recommend editing your post and removing the usernames and passwords immediately if those are the actual credentials.

I'm curious about this one. Can you provide more detail on what's happening, i.e. use the template when you click the new issue button? What OS? What's the error? Has this ever worked?

At first glance I'm leaning toward "you can't do it that way." I run multiple accounts and have a quickstart.py file for each. Then (on UNIX) I run them via a cron job at different times of the day.

Hi Mike,

Could you show us an example of how each quickstart.py file should look like?

Correct me if I am wrong but let’s say I have four accounts and I would like to put the engagement on autopilot, so I would create 4 different quickstart.py files with the "multi_logs=True and each file with its own proper credentials and then afterwards, create a main file to execute each quickstart.py file one by one?

yeah i think is the only way about multiple accounts. you just cant fire up all 4 at once in the same pc. at least from what i understood here
