Hey @iraj-jelo,

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

• #1316 - [BUG] Traceback (most recent call last)
• #1299 - [BUG] using "ask_for_code=True" returns error
• #1293 - [QUESTION] Can't login (Checkpoint challenge required/Not possible to log in)

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

I have this issue too. It's working on version 0.108.0 and older.

[bruvv]

Can you try and remove everything redownload and restart?

[valnuro]

Not working for myself sorry. I tried many things but didn't manage to make it works. I tried on Fedora and CentOS but also using the Dockerfile. But installing version 0.108.0 works if anybody with this issue still wants to use it. pip uninstall instabot pip install instabot==0.108.0

yeah im not working to...

[bruvv]

I am not home and on my phone but please try the dev branch and report back: https://github.com/instagrambot/instabot/tree/development

[valnuro]

Thanks but couldn't make it works sorry. Shouldn't you call sync_device_features(login=True) with login parameter as True during pre login flow as it was before ? Anyway I still got errors after this but I'm pretty new to this bot and Instagram API, that's just an idea.

No need to hurry since it works with older version.

[retroworks-main]

Same problem with new update

[bruvv]

Just updated and test should be working now please test the development branch: https://github.com/instagrambot/instabot/commit/acce113e54f461fe20faa6b38f1be43040db2ee2

Hi @bruvv, after trying the dev branch several times, I got this error message instead now

EDIT:

Fixed with changing return self.send_request("accounts/get_prefill_candidates/", data) To return self.send_request("accounts/get_prefill_candidates/", data, True) on api_login.py line 62

Don't know if it's the right approach

EDIT 2:

Now it can't save cookies

    "last_experiments": self.last_experiments,
AttributeError: 'API' object has no attribute 'last_experiments'

I think it should be calling sync_user_features() somewhere before saving the cookies

With development version, and @Carnivalio fix working, but got another error after trying to start like/follow/etc actions
