Hi,

The script is working great so far! Thank you.

Is it possible to implement removing follow requests?

Hello, first of all, thank you very much for creating this tool, it really helps!
So I want to run the bot for a whole day with big delays between every follow so I won't get banned, but every time I run it, the bot stops after 83 or 84 follows and exits the script.
I tried setting the maximum amount to 600 but it still exits, I even canceled the break function but it still exits.

Specifications

• Operative system: win 10, 64bit

• Version: python 3.9.7 64bit

First of all thanks a lot for the great job done here. Is there any way to follow someone with location and tag.
example : following guitarplayers from norway
thank you

@ricardojoserf Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome script, was exactly what i was looking for, tried 2 other scripts, one python and the other shell and neither worked, this has saved me soooo much time, cant imagine doing this manually, many thanks goes to @paulohenriquesn to, i was looking for exactly this option, thanks alot for including it 👌🏽

I thought yesterday it was Instagram limit but when I do it manually it works. It's not the Instagram limit.

Could it be private account ?

Hello Ricardo,

I wanted to ask you a question. I'm using the command to follow from a location and it never interacts with more than 8 or 10 users.

Is there any limitation you have set in the code?

For id 213870197 which is Cordoba, this is the list of users I have interacted with.

Expected vs Actual Behavior

There is a problem with the super unfollow command, when I try to run it I get an error "Note: There was an error unfollowing andru.terrance, please try again later."
I have noticed that other users also had this problem but couldn't find a fix, I tried it with an account that I haven't used in months but I still get the error, any fixes?

I have a list.txt file that I have scraped from @Instagram's followers. When I try to run the command to follow the list, I get the error:

Note: There was an error unfollowing btwmuskan, please try again later. Following btwmuskan (with id 0)

Since getting this error, I have tried running the command of following users by tag and that works, so I'm confident I haven't reached my follow limit or had my IP blocked.

I heard that LevPasha's Instagram-API-python and other API's were deprecated last year. Is that the cause of the error?

Instagram bans too much requests. Does this program do anything about that? What are the chances of me getting banned?

Hi, Ricardo,

I've seen that you're from Madrid, but if it's of any use to anyone else, I'll leave it in English.

I'm having trouble trying the first command to get the info.

I've seen that it's a recurrent report that you already fixed but I wanted to know if there was something changed in the API that could cause me the error.

I attach the error reported by the terminal (Mac):
