When I run the program , after a few seconds I get this error message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 158, in main() File "main.py", line 144, in main unfollowall() File "main.py", line 105, in unfollowall user_id = aux_funcs.get_id(i) File "/instagram-followers-bot-master/aux_funcs.py", line 19, in get_id // I censored the actual location with respJSON = response.json() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/models.py", line 897, in json return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/simplejson/init.py", line 518, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/simplejson/decoder.py", line 370, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/simplejson/decoder.py", line 400, in raw_decode return self.scan_once(s, idx=_w(s, idx).end()) simplejson.errors.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Hi @bfgelectronics !!! Please change the value of the variables in lines 10 and 11: min_delay = 5 max_delay = 10

To a higher value, for example: min_delay = 10 max_delay = 20

And please let me know if this problem still exists :)

Hi! Please download the dev branch (https://github.com/ricardojoserf/instagram-followers-bot/tree/dev) and let me know if this works better or the same ;) It seems it worked for this issue, which is the same that this one - https://github.com/ricardojoserf/instagram-followers-bot/issues/27

Probably my problem it's because instagram is blocking my requests. Now I tryed with the " watch -n 3600 " in front of the command and in 1 week it already unfollowed around 4k following users
