The issue should only cause if the credentials.ini file was not written right, could you try it again and see if it gives the same error? This time try to keep the formatting of the file the same.

[Lynextion]

@tanitoo2 Probably Instagram block your account. At least in my situation Instagram block my newly opened fake account. This script send too many request to Instagram.

[tanitoo2]

@Lynextion I solved it, the problem was with the file "settings.json" had to erase everything on it and just put {}

[sonubhaini]

Ok, thanks.

same error for me also Error: "username" field cannot be blank in "config/credentials.ini"

[fifthfrankie]

1. Go to /Osintgram/config and remove (rm) credentials.ini
2. Go back to /Osintgram (cd ..)
3. input make setup (exactly like that, just: make setup)
4. Input Instagram username
5. Input Instagram password (this might be a blank type but it is inputting)
6. Hit enter, and it's sorted.

Please help!!! After I type the python3 main. py (target) I get this.. ClientError checkpoint_challenge_required.................... Please follow this link to complete the challenge : (link)

After I click the link, it takes me to Instagram and says.. An unknown person tried to log in This wasn't me This was me

Then I click the "This was me" option and then I put the python3 main.py (target) command again. But it still shows the.. ClientError checkpoint_challenge_required.....................

I'm new to this, if I made any mistakes please help me out.

Edit the credentials file in the directory "config". To do this: once you are in the Osintgram directory. 'cd config' to open file, 'vi credentials/ini'. There you will see the username and password. Enter your info there and then Esc + :wq to exit vi.

[vidgix]

i already enter my password my username but i keep getting this error

Error: "username" field cannot be blank in "config/credentials.ini"

bro pls tell me how to save that and leave this mode

[Jasonmp35]

vi files are saved on escape. Hit the 'esc' button, then type ':w' or ':wq' to exit the file you are editing.
