IgCookieNotFoundError: Cookie "ds_user_id" not found

[bmsimo]

I've read the documentation and it doesn't say that i should add a cookie, or login first in the browser.

this is the entire log

Maybe i'm missing something here?

[imkimchi]

can you try to add a seed?

like

config.seed = 'something'

[bmsimo]

@imkimchi Perfect! Working right now, what's the seed config?

[imkimchi]

its used for creating deviceid I think! to make it unique

[imkimchi]

@breuerfelix I think seed config should be required since it doesnt work when seed is same as username?

[bmsimo]

@imkimchi Great, i tried it , it worked. Here's my config:

config.seed = 'something';
config.likeLimit = 25;
config.mediaDelay = 60;
// you can edit every property you want
// just do it like we change the keywords here
config.tag = [ 'kitty', 'kitten', 'catstagram', 'catsofinstagram' ];
config.blacklist = [
    'porn', 'naked', 'sex', 'vagina', 'penis', 'nude',
    'tits', 'boobs', 'like4like', 'nsfw', 'sexy', 'drugs',
    'babe', 'binary', 'bitcoin', 'crypto', 'forex', 'dick',
    'squirt', 'gay', 'homo', 'nazi', 'jew', 'judaism',
    'muslim', 'islam', 'hijab', 'niqab', 'farright',
    'rightwing', 'conservative', 'death', 'racist', 'cbd',
  ];

I don't think i'll use it for now, it started liking a random user's pics, which had no description and max 3 likes. I guess i'm too spoiled with instapy being able to filter a post by min likes,description and even language :/

Nevertheless, i wish you the best with this project 👍

[breuerfelix]

i fixed the issue with the config seed :)

@drakruka the project is just an MVP right now to see if we dont experience blocks :)
