Hey @Abdulsamipy,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

#1190 - Cant Login

#1189 - TypeError: watch_users_reels() missing 1 required positional argument: 'user_ids'

#1188 - preferences written to file without separation

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job 😄

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.

no not the same error

And what about providing these arguments when calling the script? Shouldn't be that hard. I don't see how this could be a bug in the code?

Thanks for your kind reply .. Can you actually tell me where i can edit those arguments?

fighterii commented 4 years ago

Sorry, my fault. I assumed people using scripts like this have some knowledge about python / programming.

You can start your script from the command line just as the help text indicates:

python follower2file.py -user USER -get GET -file FILE Of course you have to replace the uppercase words with your actual values.

Thanks alot .. One more question what do we have to input in FILE Does it have to be .txt? And what info do we have to provide in that .txt file And Do we have to leave GET as it is or add something else there

Once again appreciate your work :)

@Abdulsamipy : follower2file.py is not a filename from the examples, so i assume you get it from somewhere else or created it your own. If you are using a file from the examples, you didn't say what example you are trying to get work. Because you didn't provide the code itself in the issue description we can't help you with this. If you get the file from somewhere else, maybe they can help you with what the arguments should be.

FILE normally is just a path to file, you can name it whatever you want. Typically it doesn't have to exist and will be created, e.g.: "C:\temp\test.txt" or "filename.extension"

GET could be anything, no idea. The best would be to look into the code and watch out what is done with the get argument, maybe there is meaningful documentation in the code.

pardon me .. i actually edited the name ... so it is get_followers_or_followings_to_file.py its from example https://github.com/instagrambot/instabot/blob/master/examples/get_followers_or_followings_to_file.py

@Abdulsamipy : And did you take a look into that code?

parser.add_argument(
    "-user",
    type=str,
    help="username whose followers or followings you want to get",
    required=True,
)
parser.add_argument("-get", type=str, help="followers or followings", required=True)
parser.add_argument("-file", type=str, help="speficy filename", required=True)

I think the help text is quite self explanatory.

Don't get me wrong, we have no problems to help people or explain even simple things to newbies, but when I have the feeling, that the other user is not doing anything to solve the problem by himself, its quite frustrating.

To close this "issue": Just type in "follower" or "following" after -get to tell the script what you want to save.
