OwnYourGram cant find my photos #85

Closed roytang closed 3 years ago

roytang commented 5 years ago

Hi, the when I go the photos page, the site is telling me "We didn't find any photos in your Instagram profile. If your account is set to "private", OwnYourGram will not be able to import your photos. If you're sure you've posted photos and your account is public and are still seeing this message, you can report an issue. " This was working fine yesterday. My account is public.

This is happening to me as well, and mine was working as of yesterday too.

It looks like Instagram is cracking down and blocking apps like this from making requests to their site. I "fixed" a different version of this problem yesterday, and it appears we are now playing a cat and mouse game. I don't think I'll be able to keep up, so I'm not really sure what I'm going to do. I'll keep this issue updated as things progress though.

FYI, https://ownyourgram.com/photos seems to be working again, but my instagram photos in the interim were not being sent to my micropub. When I click "Post" manually in this page, they were able to be posted

Yep, as long as everyone doesn't go there at the same time it stays under the rate limit. I turned off the automatic import until I can redo it in a way I can control the rate limiting.

Just got the same message today.

aaronpk commented 5 years ago

fyi, I enabled importing again with some aggressive back-off strategies, so hopefully some photos get through periodically.

aaronpk commented 5 years ago

Another update! I reworked the OwnYourGram UI to let you import a single photo from its Instagram URL. This should get around the rate limiting since it's mostly been rate limiting profile fetches which is how OwnYourGram finds your new photos. So if you log in, you should be able to import photos individually right now.

I've been trying the "import a single photo" technique but can't seem to get it to work. I enter the Instagram URL, and it seems like it's about to do something, but then it doesn't.

Do you see the spinner icon? Or does it fail before then even?

cygnoir commented 5 years ago

I see the spinner icon for less than a second, and then it disappears.

aaronpk commented 5 years ago

hm yes I'm having some trouble with it too. I will spend some time tomorrow debugging this.
