we just need to add this line here
to encode the payload on utf-8 and this would work

payload = payload.encode('utf-8')

Hello,

Hey bro , I was using selenium for username and password . If I use this :-
response = bot.upload_story('image2.png')
print(response)

I know I will get an error .
Then how can I use this upload_story function .
Any idea ?

I have this issue
←[91m[✗] Login Failed!←[0m {"user": true, "authenticated": false, "status": "ok"}
The first time is OK
but the second one I try and fail. I tried on change proxy but the issue still exists.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/xxx/MyIGBot/usage.py", line 3, in <module>
    bot = MyIGBot('correct-username', 'correct-password')
  File "/Users/xxx/MyIGBot/myigbot.py", line 178, in __init__
    self.sessionid = login_response.headers['Set-Cookie'].split('sessionid=')[1].split(';')[0]                
IndexError: list index out of range

I get this error, I am not sure what to do. Help will be appreciated.

Update:
the error disappeared, now it says login failed. instagram sent me a mail saying suspicious login blocked. need a workaround on this,

When i tried to upload image post response return None...

Even the simplest bot would not work as the login would fail due to instagram detecting a suspicious login attempt and requiring verification. Even after verifying the warning, it would still block out the bot every time. What should I do? I have tried logging in using incognito, verifying, and starting up the bot, but this did not fix the issue. Does the bot not work anymore?

from myigbot import MyIGBot

bot = MyIGBot( "", "")

response = bot.upload_post('testing.png', caption='Image 1')
print(response) 

EDIT: I tried adding a 2 Factor Authentication to my account, but it still raises the suspi cious login warning, and gives me this error now:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\\Desktop\Personal Work\\.....\\", line 4, in <module>
    bot = MyIGBot('', '')
  File "C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\myigbot\__init__.py", line 178, in __init__
    self.sessionid = login_response.headers['Set-Cookie'].split('sessionid=')[1].split(';')[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

no matter wich account i use it says :
[✗] Login Failed!
i already tested three ig accounts and with or without proxies

Hello, I have been working with ur API, and when I am trying to log in with correct user credentials I am getting 403 error, what does it mean?

no view function

Title says all --

Even just adding them as default highlight without any name or pic would be great

Just a suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated and separate this repo from the other ones aside from how easy it is to use :)

While Instagram on Windows cannot upload stories

If you really can can you teach me how, I'd like to try sniffing uploading stories with text & mentions

Hi,
Would it be possible to add a tag to a story upload?

Thx

please add error handling when returning json smap {"message": "", "spam": true, "status": "fail"}

eg try follow_count = json.loads (response) ['graphql'] ['user'] ['edge_follow'] ['count']
except

follow_count = json.loads (response) ['spam']

Whenever i try to login to the account, it returns: 'csrftoken'

from myigbot import MyIGBot

bot = MyIGBot('random.dog.daily', 'Password')

Any Help? Sorry if im being dumb

Hi there,

The post_likers function does not return the exact amount of likers on any post with more than 128 likes.

post = "https://www.instagram.com/p/CDbt2ikF2q9/"

like_count = bot.like_count(post)
print(like_count)
response = bot.post_likers(post, limit=like_count)
print(len(response))

returns:

841
504

Really enjoy the bot you've written so far - nice work!

File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/myigbot/init.py", line 696, in upload_post
upload_id = json_data['upload_id']
KeyError: 'upload_id'

Thanks, Thanks this app is very good

looking at myigbot.py there is the functions:
private_user
and verified_user

1.- to see if the private profile returns to me and it does not.

2.- there are public profiles that they configured not to be tagged ..

this can block us and the app

A function that returns users that do not allow to be tagged, do not allow to be commented

[✗] Login Failed! Cookie file is corupted!
[-] Deleted Corupted Cookie File! Try Again!

I couldn't find anything in the code that indicated it was possible. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Also couldn't find any possible documentation on doing this.

Thanks

KeyError: "name='csrftoken', domain=None, path=None"

just tried to login and this error came up

from myigbot import MyIGBot

bot = MyIGBot('xxx', 'xxx')

Traceback (most recent call last):
self.csrf_token = cookie_jar['csrftoken']
KeyError: 'csrftoken'

response.cookies is empty and therefore the csrftoken cannot be extracted.
I tried it with proxies, as well, but that still didn't solve it.

It seems like IG changed something on their end once again.
I have tried other active instagram libraries from github as well. Always same result.

Hello, I am trying to like a post with my account and leave a comment, but I receive a 403 error.
my code:

from myigbot import MyIGBot
 
bot = MyIGBot('maryam85rr', '********')

a = bot.like('https://www.instagram.com/p/CUp8_KbNnDe/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link')

b = bot.comment('https://www.instagram.com/p/CUp8_KbNnDe/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link','nice')

print(b)

print(a)`

terminal:
403
403

First of all, thanks @b31ngd3v for building this API.
I recently built a quick script to view accounts' stories in loop. Here's the code

from myigbot import MyIGBot
import time
import random

bot = MyIGBot(username,pw)

storiesCount = 0

def getLastMediaLikers(account):

    # Try to get a list of users that liked the account's last post. If the account has no posts or it's private, return []

    try:
        getMedias = bot.user_posts(account)
        if getMedias == []: return []

        getLikers = bot.post_likers(getMedias[0])
        print(f"Got {len(getLikers)} media likers for the account {account}")
        return getLikers
    except:
        return [] # If anything goes wrong, return an empty list

def storyView(account):
    global storiesCount

    # Attempt to view the story of the account. If successful, increment storiesCount

    try:
        print("Attempting story view for",account)
        if bot.story_view(account) == 200: storiesCount += 1
        print(f"Current stories count: {storiesCount}")
        time.sleep(2.5)
    except:
        pass # In case something goes wrong
    return
  
currentAccount = input("Please provide an account to start from")
likers = getLastMediaLikers(currentAccount)

while True:

    # View the story of currentAccount and all the one of the first 50 likers of its last post. Then choose a random account and repeat.

    storyView(currentAccount)
    for a in likers:
        storyView(a)
    currentAccount = random.choice(likers)
    likers_sub = getLastMediaLikers(currentAccount)
    while likers_sub == []:
        currentAccount = random.choice(likers)
        likers_sub = getLastMediaLikers(currentAccount)
    likers = likers_sub
    print("Current account:",currentAccount,". Long Sleeping.")
    time.sleep(5)

After a few minutes, my script gets detected and I'm required to change my instagram password due to "a suspiscious login attempt". Does anyone know what IG's rate limits are & what my sleep times should be in order not to run into this?

I did this steps:

1. pip install myigbot
2. write this to a python file

from myigbot import MyIGBot
bot = MyIGBot('usrname', 'pass')  # Login Information (if you're account has 2 Factor Auth. The Bot Will Ask You The Code.)
a=bot.like('https://www.instagram.com/p/CHqtHbkB6KE/')
print(a)

but unfortunately

←[91m[✗] Login Failed!←[0m

this error occured.
What's wrong?
