[BUG] cant upload any story

[egyjs]

Describe the bug

Uploading photos is working for me, however, uploading photos to my Instagram story is not. I am not getting any errors i am just left with the console telling me the photo was not uploaded. Please let me know if this is a bug or if I am doing something wrong. I've tried both calling upload_story_photo.py directly from the console with the location of the photo and creating a bot and running bot.upload_story_photo.

Hey @el3zahaby,

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

• #1254 - Filtering media not working as it should
• #1249 - How to send automatic dm with images to New followers
• #1248 - [BUG] welcome_message.py <Response [200]>

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

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

Cheers, Your Friendly Neighborhood ProBot

it was another try but still nothing :(

[yurisa2]

Yeah.... I have the same issue, any need for further testing or any logs, I'm available

[bruvv]

Please update to the newer version

[yurisa2]

Please update to the newer version

Did... Before I commented.....

git pull setup.py install

Same results

if it helps, I have a VERY CLEAN account, where I do not get any blocks or anything NEVER, and the results are the same.

[bruvv]

Again big update in the dev branch, please test.

[yurisa2]

Just checked out the "development" branch and still got the error

2020-01-29 10:57:52,714 - INFO - Photo 'xxxxx.STORIES.jpg' is not uploaded.

[yurisa2]

is there any debug flag so I can try and help with the solution?!?!? log!? (Sorry I'm new using the lib)

[egyjs]

anything yet ? :(

[bruvv]

@el3zahaby you can try this PR:https://github.com/instagrambot/instabot/pull/1330 but as long as @xenud isn't going to fix the build error's I cannot merge it.

anything yet ? :(

Fixed this bug by looking at other libraries, that I found in github!

They uploading photo for story to endpoint which contains "rupload_igphoto" (not to "upload/photo/" as we have in this bot), and the photo is uploaded without any problems with this endpoint. After that, we go further by the standard flow - configure_story.

Just converting image. 200 {"upload_id": "1583187858484", "xsharing_nonces": {}, "status": "ok"} 2020-03-03 00:24:22,800 - INFO - Photo '/home/vlad/Downloads/test2.jpg.STORIES.jpg' is uploaded as Story. 2020-03-03 00:24:22,800 - INFO - Total requests: 36

P.S. I don’t know how this solution correct this is (from the point of view of the instagram, how much this differs from the standard workflow of the application). If I get a ban - I'll left message here.

This method also works for posting stories with metadata (countdown, poll, question, etc). Just add metadata in the request data in configure_story function. Would be great if someone fix this and make PR.

Most of this code copied from api_photo.py. Look at the difference between line 111 and 118 and the nearest code.

It's works now at real production project. But I still doesn't know good solution it is or not.

In other libraries, I found that this path is also using to upload history.

Because it's just simple uploading photo to instagram servers, after that we getting upload_id of photo, which is using to configure this photo story at function "configure_story" and sending request to "media/configure_to_story/" to post story.

Can you make a pull request @vladlaptev ? I'll merge it.
