Expected Behavior

Quickstart would run

Current Behavior

Hello,

When i try to run project as described here i get this error:

ERROR [2019-11-08 14:00:14] [user423] You have too few comments, please set at least 10 distinct comments to avoid looking suspicious.

Possible Solution (optional)

I was looking into Instapy issues and one of them mentioned this possible solution.

InstaPy configuration

My quickstart file includes more than 10 comments:

comments = ['Nice shot! @{}',
        'I love your profile! @{}',
        'Your feed is an inspiration :thumbsup:',
        'Just incredible :open_mouth:',
        'What camera did you use @{}?',
        'Love your posts @{}',
        'Looks awesome @{}',
        'Getting inspired by you @{}',
        ':raised_hands: Yes!',
        'I can feel your passion @{} :muscle:',
        'Nice photo',
        'Cool photo']

At first i tought that this is the docker issue, so i submitted the issue to instapy-docker repo, but they said that this error seems to be related directly to InstaPy and not to Docker.

I was having this same issue, but you just have to insist on it a little, and it will eventually work.

My problem is that it doesn't comment or follow the people back, it only likes the photos by the tags I specified and, instead of completing the other actions, it moves to the next one. Do you guys have this problem too?

All 42 comments

Still not resolved, old issue was closed by bot

I'm having similar problems. I'm not sure whats causing this but I have well over 10 comments. I've also tried turning off headless browsing which was a solution I saw elsewhere.

Same issue here, not sure how to get it fixed either!

*edit, I do not use docker

Sometimes the bot still works, I'd say 30% chance when launching it that it will work.

I didn't change anything to my scripts when the issue came up. Now I updated the instapy installation, no result.

Sometimes I need to insist 8 times before it works though!

I don't use these other functions, I only use it for likes and that works fine still

Insist? How do you mean.

I ran quickstart script which should work.

Edit: I also tried multiple times, but it always failed

Insist as in, try again and again.
Eventually, it will work sometimes, at least for me it does.

Headless or not seems of no difference, btw

Quickstart script out of the box should work on the first try. Just retrying is not the right solution for this.

Especially if you try to run it in docker container, which is what i am trying to do

I had the same problem. I have just added the string "want_check_browser=False" for Instapy to stop the checks.

Didn't change anything for me

What can we do to fix this. What are you trying to do now @matej2 ?

I am trying to run InstaPy in docker container. As i saw in dockerfile, it then tries to run quickstart script. I dont know what to do to fix this, as I am not familiar with code (and i am a beginner in Python), but i can provide debug info regarding the bug.

I'm having the same issue. Has not worked for me yet, and keeps giving me the error of having too few comments.

I added more than 20 comment and it works.

@marouane159 I am pretty sure this is not what solved the problem. Can you be more specific what did you change?

It's indeed not the solution, otherwise, this thread was not existing IMO!

For me, it still works after retry retry retry.

I really enjoy InstaPy, would be sad if this becomes a totally unusable bot due to no updates

same issue. no comment in my quickstart

same issue

Is InstaPy dead then?

For me, it still works after retry retry retry.

So I should just retry until it works? Then you dont have the same problem

@matej2 try to set want_check_browser=False

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

It seems InstaPy tries to validate the Instagram servers using a domain that is broken: https://isitdownorjust.me/instagram-com/ so you need to skip that validation.

@luismec90 Didn't work for me either, followed all the suggestions in this thread

@luismec90 , Did you resolve this issue? I have the same problem. Let me know if you got sucess.

This worked for me
want_check_browser=False

I'm getting __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'want_check_browser'. Sometimes it works and sometimes not, but I can live with that. My problem is that I always get the error You have too few comments, please set at least 10 distinct comments to avoid looking suspicious. even though I have enough. Is there no way to turn off the check? Once I decide to use InstaPy, I do it at my own risk?

Just pass the value. want_check_browser=False. It will work.

Instapy(username = ''hshhs", password = "hdhdbs", want_check_browser=False)

This probably will never be solved

Still an issue. want_check_browser=False doesn't help

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'want_check_browser'

InstaPy is dead

InstaPy is dead

It sadly seems quite true at this point. Sad, is there any alternatives?

Sadly, no. There was a prototype for NodeJS version, but this is also dead (it is the same as InstaPy, gets you banned). Also, no communty there

Still.....

@timgrossmann is the issue resolved?

@timgrossmann is the issue resolved?

I guess no

I cant understand why this repo accepts donations and also at the same time have bot that automatically closes issues?
And this issue was active and you closed it anyway?

For those of you who have the same issue:

This issue is not actually resolved. People just dont wanna take a look at it.

They have a bot that automatically closes inactive issues so it looks like they care (and solve) issues. However, this issue is still active and was not closed by the bot. The author closed is himself.
