Yes, @cormo1990

That kind of bug has happened before.
It is so ridiculous and will capture more than 1000 MB of memory if you do not stop it.

In particalar, for that case, the process triggering it is a graphql query with these parameters,

query_hash: c56ee0ae1f89cdbd1c89e2bc6b8f3d18
variables: {"id":"123","include_reel":true,"fetch_mutual":false,"first":24}

I think it is a general case and other parts of the service is also expected to behave so.

BTW, unlike Firefox and Chrome, Edge browser is not affected by those glitches 馃檪
If you visit websites like downdetector dot com, you'll see that issues with the service has been increased by ~5 times from 17th January (_today_).

Yep, the fix which was done by @uluQulu 7 hours ago does not work. The script does not even open followers window now, and "timeout" ;)

That is a huge bug in the server side you're observing at the moment.

Funny is then you go to a profile from your feed the followers list do OPEN.
Bug/Block ?

When i open with Chromebrowser on desktop i also didnt work and browser freezes

tourhuntr picture tourhuntr on 17 Jan 2019

@sionking I was wondering the same... It may be to block bots, as the webui was already very limited.
It's working on Safari iOS12 btw, a way to workaround the problem?

It might be hard to believed if it was a bug it would takes so much time to be fixed? Last time they massively released the new horizontal-scroll interface (end of december), they rollbacked in less than an hour.

@cormo1990 It was just a suggestion I'm not sure if it's really possible.
It's looks like there is a Safari driver for Selenium but it may require (a lot of ?) code rebuilding and new configuration

We can always like so the problem is just to get list of follower or following

@uluQulu @sionking May be it's working with a mobile user agent. Do you know how and where to setup it? I guess in instapy/brower.py ?

When I add in browser.py

mobile_emulation = { "deviceName": "Nexus 5" }
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("mobileEmulation", mobile_emulation)

The dom elements change in mobile version:

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//div[3]/div/div/div[2]"}

follow by tags worked for me last night. not sure if that is helpful in solving this issue but is a workaround if you want to keep your bot going.

Can you share your adjusted file?

So the solution right now should be:

  1. goto instagram feed page
  2. search the user we want to followers (full username)
  3. click on first result
  4. click on followers.

in unfollow_util.py:
from .util import search_and_click_first_element
and change the functions:
in get_given_user_following and in get_given_user_followers change:

    if True:
        user_found_in_search = search_and_click_first_element(browser,user_name, logger)
        if not user_found_in_search:
            return [], []
    else:
        user_link = "https://www.instagram.com/{}/".format(user_name)
        web_address_navigator(browser, user_link)

in util.py:

+def search_and_click_first_element(browser, search_value, logger):
    search_xpath = r'//*[@id="react-root"]/section/nav/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div/div'
    search_element = browser.find_elements_by_xpath(search_xpath)

    (ActionChains(browser)
     .move_to_element(search_element[0])
     .click()
     .send_keys(search_value)
     .perform())

    first_results_xpath = r'//*[@id="react-root"]/section/nav/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div/a[1]/div'
    element_vis = explicit_wait(browser, "VOEL", [first_results_xpath, "XPath"], logger, 5, False)

    if element_vis:
        first_results_element = browser.find_elements_by_xpath(first_results_xpath)
        element_vis = explicit_wait(browser, "VOEL", [first_results_xpath, "XPath"], logger, 5, False)

        if element_vis:
            click_element(browser, first_results_element[0])
            return True

    return False

@escariao try 

pip install instapy -U

(That updates the pip package)
Or, if you installed via git:

git pull
