Failed to Run : User Not Found

[NicolasMazzoleni]

Hi there,

Been using the bot for weeks now and since two days without any particulars reasons it stopped working with this error. (Failed To Run, Try the troubleshooting button. Error: User Not Found).

So I cleared all the accounts and added only one that exists and this error still pops up.

Would you have an idea of the reason why ?

Thanks for the great project ! Nic

Same issue here with 1.10.3

This is what happens in the browser. this happen when the bot tries to reach the profile page, in fact if I browse manually to that page I encounter the same error. This only happens since yesterday and only on one profile. If I use IG for that profile from my phone app, all is normal

I've been updated to 1.10.3 version and so far it seems working.

Hey. I got the same issue! When I start the bot, it is way too fast after scanning my profile. For example: the bot wants to start and gives itself 2 seconds. Maybe my wifi is not fast enought, but my instagram page is loading after the estimated time of 2-3 seconds past. Then I receive the same problem like NicolasMazzoleni. Maybe increasing the time to scan the profile is fixing the problem.

I got the same issue as davidereitano aswell: When the bot tries to find a user from which he should scan the follower, he gives himself too less time (just 2 seconds). So the same problem occurse: the given time is not long enough for loading the profile (my assumption)..

@NicolasMazzoleni it seems like the error "User not found" is correct, because the user does indeed not exist ("Sorry, this page isn't available"). Does it happen for all users the bot tries to visit? and what if you try with a different instagram account? Maybe instagram has flagged your account, and that's why you're getting this error

It actually does the same on all accounts. But it was working agin on 1.10.4, but I don't have the AppImage 1.10.4 anymore. Is there a way to download it again while you find what is going on ? (And yes maybe the account has been flagged, but I'd like to try again on 1.10.4 as it was working couple days ago).

I'm facing the same problem with 1.10.4 aswell as with 1.10.5. @NicolasMazzoleni You can find the 1.10.4 Version here: https://github.com/mifi/SimpleInstaBot/releases/tag/v1.10.4
