Code:

in 'ultimate.py'
def stats():
    bot.save_user_stats(bot.username)

schedule.every(1).hours.do(run_threaded, stats)

but this saves the first value over and over. Probably because in get_user_info() there is a check to see if user stats were already asked for. 

def get_user_info(self, user_id):
    user_id = self.convert_to_user_id(user_id)
    if user_id not in self._user_infos:
        self.api.get_username_info(user_id)
        if 'user' not in self.api.last_json:
            return False
        user_info = self.api.last_json['user']
        self._user_infos[user_id] = user_info
    return self._user_infos[user_id]

Describe your issue

In the ultimate file we save the usere stats every hour, however bot.save_user_stats() does not save updated stats, but the ones when the function was first run. This saves the same value over and over. Probably because in get_user_info() there is a check to see if user stats were already asked for.

--> add check to see if user stats are requested from own user ID, or remove check altogether and always overwrite when function is called.

same issue too...

https://github.com/instagrambot/instabot/pull/556 should fix it ;)

Need to add the use_cache part to the bot.py file as well. Seems to work well otherwise

[basnijholt]

Thanks for using it. I've reopened the issue. Could you be a bit more specific about where you added the use_cache?

[lubislutfi]

In bot/bot.py Change: def get_user_info(self, user_id): return get_user_info(self, user_id) To: def get_user_info(self, user_id, use_cache): return get_user_info(self, user_id, use_cache)
