Hey @romanrsr, well the error you're encountering basically indicates that in order for the script to provide additional info you have to login to your Instagram account from a webbrowser (Firefox preferably).

Hey @new92, Thanks for the quick reply! I have logged in to Firefox, but now I get the error "[!] User not found !"

[new92]

Yeah sure ! Okay so if the account is new you should be getting this error message. By the way in the installation process did you run the python script (the cookies.py) ? If no it may be due to that. I can't actually think of other reason to cause this error. Try executing again the cookies.py if you have and try again. If the error persists please contact me again !👍

[new92]

@romanrsr because another user is encountering the same error it's a bug in the installation process so let me fix it and I'll get back to you.

[new92]

@romanrsr I made some changes in the login process please make a git pull and execute the script again. If you get any error please contact me again. If everything work fine please mark this issue as closed or contact me to close it. 👍

Hi @new92, I have done the git pull, I have been able to execute cookies.py correctly, but when I run the V3 script, it keeps telling me "User not found".

[new92]

Hey @romanrsr let me try finding a solution to this bug and I'll get back to you asap.

[new92]

ive got a problem,when i try to run the script and get to the follwing question: "Do you consent that the author....etc" i say yes and then the script just closes,any help?

[new92]

@gabyx223 are you using the V3 script ? Also do you see a file named: 'cons.txt' appear when entering 'yes' ?

[gabyx223]

Fixed that,now it just closes whenever i answer the following question: " Do you grant acces to the script to have acces to the number of followers in order to provide additional information? I answer with yes and then it just closes

[new92]

Ok let me fix it and I'll come back to you.
