[BUG] Upload not working

[vascostmr]

Hi everyone, the upload method in cli.py is not working.

$instapy -u ***** -p "*****" -f ig.png -t 'post_text'

instapy-cli 0.0.12  |  python 3.6.8
[IG] not found cookie/cookie_file >> login as default
Error parsing error response: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/vascostmr/ffmpeg_scripts/blog/my_py3/bin/instapy", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/home/vascostmr/ffmpeg_scripts/blog/my_py3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/instapy_cli/__main__.py", line 44, in main
    cli.upload(options.file, text, story)
  File "/home/vascostmr/ffmpeg_scripts/blog/my_py3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/instapy_cli/cli.py", line 166, in upload
    raise IOError("Unable to upload.")
OSError: Unable to upload.

The error is thrown in upload.py from the instagram_private_api module, with a "Bad Request" message.

[roycebank]

if you upload just photos ↓ https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mxyYmBpryK/

[RayChao2016]

thanks @roycebank , this works for me. looks the temporary solution is to use Selenium...

[Lucasmiguelmac]

Anyone worked this out? Using selenium in the meantime

Ya, just change the chrome driver path after installing latest version according to 32 or 64 bit.

[samelakshay]

In my code, I login successfully but this code cli.upload(image, text) doesn't work... Same issue... Who has a solution for this?

[FourKube]

@didduinc @Lucasmiguelmac @RayChao2016 @roycebank thanks for the selenium suggestion for the mean time. I have successfully been able to log-in with it, however am having trouble uploading photos. I have tried the code at https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/mxyYmBpryK/, but it has not worked for me. I'm on a mac. How are you able to upload? Thanks

`

upload("xxx", "xxx", "./chromedriver.exe", "C:\instagram\tom_.2020-01-02_17-31-38.mp4")

File "main.py", line 46, in upload
    autoit.control_send("Aç", "Edit1", os.path.abspath(contentpth))
  File "E:\coden\instagram\uploaderPy\lib\site-packages\autoit\autoit.py", line 84, in wrapper
    raise AutoItError(err_msg)
autoit.autoit.AutoItError: Window/Control could not be found`

[roycebank]

@pauapaua if not window name is Aç you must change all autoit Aç values to window name(according to os language)

if your os language is English:

autoit.win_active("Open") time.sleep(2) autoit.control_send("Open", "Edit1", os.path.abspath(contentpth)) time.sleep(1.5) autoit.control_send("Open", "Edit1", "{ENTER}")

[vascYT]

Guys. Instagram cut the API Support. You can forget this Python Libary.

[naveenbharadwaj19]

So no solution for this ? any other api ?

[vascYT]

I didn't find any solutions. Sorry. But if I do I will let you guys know.

[divyanshu-parihar]

Active development stopped a while a go. Maybe gonna do some updates during the Christmas season, but can't promise.

[nextalgon]

what kind of libraries recomend you for upload post, posts, stories and videos?
