I'll try my best. It's most probably caused by faulty XPATH, which is stopping the element from being located.
TimeOut is due to the max waiting time set in the WebDriverWait constructor. When the element is not located within the max waiting time, TimeOut exception is thrown.

I'll try my best to fix it.

Thank you guys for your effort. I will try and let you know.

Please see attached screenshot when I tried option 4.
Data collected from following pop-up, and tried to collect from followers as well, but after couple of minutes received attached error.

from instabot.

I was download zip file from Github to my local disk. Now, clone the repository using git and edit program.py file as you corrected.
Option 1, and 2 is working. When I tried option 4 (4. Unfollowers those who don't follow you back) attached is the error and screenshot.

Do check out the PR #24 as I have pushed a few more commits that hopefully, will resolve your issue.
By the way, I am happy that most of the processes work for you.
Please keep me update so that we could learn and improve together.

Unfortunately, option 4 starting good but not finalized accordingly :))

I was surprised to the sense that I did not encounter this error, so I can't see the error in action. Could you provide me more insights on the error?

Was the webpage loading or refreshing before the exception is thrown?

from instabot.

Yes webpage is normally loading. "Following" pop-up is opened and bot started to work. When bot grab all the information from "following", bot opened the "followers" pop-up. In addition scroll-down process started by bot, but couple of seconds later program halt and show the comment.
