Issue with OSX

[hyuma78]

I'm using OSX Maverick with python3.11.5 on bash and the script after asking me the questions where I have to reply "yes" doesn't start and I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/tommy/Desktop/IGFI/scripts/igfi.py", line 659, in main(username=str(args.username).strip().lower(), sessionfile=str(args.sessionfile).replace('\', '/')) File "/Users/tommy/Desktop/IGFI/scripts/igfi.py", line 413, in main client.user_follow(users[NAMES[j]]) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/instagrapi/mixins/user.py", line 735, in user_follow assert self.user_id, "Login required"

Hey @hyuma78. In order to resolve this issue you need to login to your instagram account, complete the verification process and run again IGFI.

Yeah I had both Firerox and Brave logged with my Instagram account.

And you still encountered the 'login_required' error ? Did you execute the cookies.py script before the igfi.py one ?

[hyuma78]

Yes, I launched python3 cookies.py and the igfi.py to be sure the cookies were updated. Yes still same issue

[new92]

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

Hey @hyuma78 I made some changes to IGFI and hopefully resolved the issue. Try using it and let me know.

@hyuma78 oh I see the issue, try using IGFI with an account that doesn't have 2FA (two factor authentication) enabled. Or disable the 2FA in the current one.

[hyuma78]

Ok, I disabled the 2FA and scrips started to following a list of VIP likes Ronaldo, Dua Lipa etc... and at the end unfollowing all of them and then restart the loop. should it work like this? With a series of following and unfollowing?

[new92]

Yes that's the process and the goal. Check this discussion to get your answer

[hyuma78]

That's incredibile.. there are people in the world that follow the new followers of vip/celebrities for what purpose?!?

[new92]

Maybe they're using the "follow for follow back method" maybe they're just following random people who knows ? 🤷‍♂️ The important part is that the users of IGFI are gaining followers and that's all that matters.👍

[hyuma78]

Yeah, we live in crazy world! Thanks for the support!
