Post upload response returning Success: False

[Ethan0429]

Describe the bug Tested with both file types (.jpg and .mp4) and using the latest version of Instauto, I cannot get a post to upload from my account. from

final_post = ps.Post.create(
    path=post,
    source_type=st.WhereToPost.Feed,
    caption=my_caption
)

resp = client.post_post(final_post)
print("Success: ", resp.ok)

I get

Success:  False

path='PATH TO POSTS/posts/post.jpg' caption='test' (for clarity)

I get no errors of any kind, but I've tried multiple different files--each either .jpg or .mp4--but still the same result. Is there anyway to know what I'm doing wrong?

Expected behavior Successul post

Hmm, comparing your output to mine it looks like the only difference is that your image type is "tmp_sc" while mine is "jpeg". Maybe try re-encoding your image to a jpeg format. Also remember that Instagram has strict rules on the dimensions of an image that you can upload. Here is the help page on image dimensions https://ey.workplace.com/help/instagram/1631821640426723. In addition, if this doesn't fix your issue, could you include the code that is returned by the image (You can post the log file here)

[CombatCode]

@marvic2409 bingo, previously I was testing two images but third one works fine

[CombatCode]

so png images gives issue like this one

[marvic2409]

A possible solution code-wise to this would be to include an image formatting mechanism to make it compatible with Instagram. I will communicate with stanvanrooy on this, but for now it seems that you will need to format the images as a jpeg with dimensions which are supported.

[stanvanrooy]

Good find. Converting the image in instauto isn't the solution.

If the Instagram API indeed only accepts jpegs, we should make instauto also only accepts jpegs.

I'll try uploading a png to Instagram using the app and see how it is handled.

[marvic2409]

Yeah I just tried it and it looks like it just converts it to a jpeg with a background of whatever your current theme is.

[stanvanrooy]

Okay, thanks. Then we should just raise an exception when someone tries uploading a PNG with instauto.

Let them take care of converting it, that's out of scope for instauto.
