HI there,

I did everything like it should be done. The list of open follow request can be made, but then the following error occurs:

DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:51320/devtools/browser/402e458d-6e1c-4af1-a835-7fc1e1fbbb97 Got the users you have sent follow request in "follow_req.txt" file, now exiting browser...

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Could you tell me what I should do? Is this a bug of the app/ insta that blocked it?

Kind regards,

Fish

The script is working fine on my PC. Can you tell me about your Python, Chrome, and Chrome driver version?

Fishos commented 4 years ago

I have Python38 chrome 84.0.4147.135 (Officiële build) (64-bits)

and I use the 84.0.4147.30 chromedriver

You were right, the intial chrome driver was a newer version

The Chromedriver and the chrome browser version should be equal.

If it is not working then you can use the Andriod app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cancel.follow.request.forinstagram&hl=en_IN
