Instapy: isitdownorjust.me is down !

Created on 4 Oct 2019 · 8Comments · Source: timgrossmann/InstaPy

Hello everyone !

Instapy doesn't work for half an hour now.. Why?
Because the website that checks if Instagram is down.. is down. What an ironic situation!

https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/isitdownorjust.me

Wouldn't be wise to use a more reliable checking website?
Could I get rid of this checking step?
I have more trust in the Instagram.com reliability than the checking websites.

You must know that I'm using Intapy 0.5.8 since it works better for me. So I'm not sure the last version of Instapy got the same problem ;)

find the following in login_util.py and uncomment

# check Instagram.com status
    try:
        logger.info("-- Connection Checklist [2/3] (Instagram Server Status)")
        browser.get("https://isitdownorjust.me/instagram-com/")
        sleep(2)
        # collect isitdownorjust.me website information
        website_status = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
            read_xpath(login_user.__name__, "website_status")
        )
        response_time = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
            read_xpath(login_user.__name__, "response_time")
        )
        response_code = browser.find_element_by_xpath(
            read_xpath(login_user.__name__, "response_code")
        )

        logger.info("- Instagram WebSite Status: {} ".format(website_status.text))
        logger.info("- Instagram Response Time: {} ".format(response_time.text))
        logger.info("- Instagram Reponse Code: {}".format(response_code.text))
        logger.info("- Instagram Server Status: ok")
        update_activity(
            browser,
            action=None,
            state="Instagram servers are running correctly",
            logfolder=logfolder,
            logger=logger,
        )
    except Exception:
        logger.warn("- Instagram Server Status: error")
        update_activity(
            browser,
            action=None,
            state="Instagram server is down",
            logfolder=logfolder,
            logger=logger,
        )
        return False

It will skip the check and work

Maybe you IP is blocked by Instagram?

The service is down, not IP blocked

The same. How we can skip this checking?

I don't think there is a parameter for not checking the connection
