InstaPy configuration

Mine is a little complex. I'm using another python file to generate a dictionary so I can change parameters during runtime

`from instapy import InstaPy
import time
import config
from importlib import reload
session = InstaPy(username = '*****', password = '*******', nogui = True)
session.login()

while True:
    config = reload(config)
    dic = config.get_main_config()

    if dic['bool_set_do_comment']: session.set_comments(dic['set_comments'])
    if dic['bool_set_do_comment']: session.set_do_comment(enabled=True, percentage = dic['percentage_set_do_comment'])
    if dic['bool_set_do_follow']: session.set_do_follow(enabled=True, percentage = dic['percentage_set_do_follow'])
    if dic['bool_set_do_like']: session.set_do_like(enabled = True, percentage = dic['percentage_set_do_like'])

    if dic['bool_follow_user_followers']: session.follow_user_followers(dic['follow_user_followers'], amount=dic['amount_follow_user_followers'], randomize=False, sleep_delay=60)

    if dic['bool_like_by_feed']: session.like_by_feed(amount=dic['amount_like_by_feed'])

    if dic['bool_like_by_tags']: session.like_by_tags(dic['like_by_tags'], amount=dic['amount_like_by_tags'])

    if dic['bool_follow_user_followers']: session.follow_user_followers(dic['follow_user_followers'], amount=dic['amount_follow_user_followers'], randomize=False, sleep_delay=60)

    print ("Sleeping")
    time.sleep(dic['sleep_time'])

    if dic['bool_unfollow_users']: session.unfollow_users(amount=dic['amount_unfollow_users'], onlyInstapyFollowed = True, sleep_delay=30)

Just as an update, I watched the gui go into an account that fails to load followers. What looks like the problem is that the list of followers takes a while to update, and for the account I was testing with, never actually showed up at all. I'm assuming that this error shows up because the action of loading the followers times out, and it gives up, and moves on.

Hi there same problem for me here

Any solutions on that issue ? Thks a lot

[fegomess]

Mine is exactly like the first comment. The bot stops and never goes back to other functions. Do any one know the solution for that? Tnks!

[MedAdrian]

Facing the same issue here, just as @tgs266 says it takes some time to load the followers from an account with say 4K or more followers, so the bot stops (manually scrolling down helps to this but it's not the way to go, especially when you got a csv with thousands of accounts).

[ghost]

I am having the same problem here. It happened with an account that had 765K+ followers
