1 year ago Hey @iChristosK, I managed to reproduce the issue you're facing and also provide a solution. Please replace the ig_tagger.py file contents with the following code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

LOGIN_XPATH = '//*[@id="loginForm"]/div/div[3]/button'
LOGGED_XPATH = '/html/body/div[2]/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div[1]/section/main/div/div/div/div/button'
USERNAME_XPATH = '//*[@id="loginForm"]/div/div[1]/div/label/input'
PASS_XPATH = '//*[@id="loginForm"]/div/div[2]/div/label/input'
COMMENT_XPATH = '/html/body/div[2]/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div[1]/section/main/div[1]/div/article/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/section[3]/div/form/textarea'
POST_XPATH = '/html/body/div[2]/div/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div[1]/section/main/div[1]/div/article/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/section[3]/div/form/div[2]/div'
COOKIE_XPATH = '/html/body/div[2]/div/div/div/div[2]/div/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div/button[1]'
def choose_names_to_tag(ig_names, required_tags):
tags = []
while len(tags) < int(required_tags):
name = random.choice(ig_names)
if name not in tags:
tags.append(name)
return tags

ig_names = parser.get('Instagram', 'Names').replace('\n', '').split(',')
required_tags = parser.get('Instagram', 'Tags')
username = parser.get('Instagram', 'Username')
password = parser.get('Instagram', 'Password')
chrome = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
chrome.get("https://www.instagram.com")

cookie_accept.click()
username_input.send_keys(username)
password_input.send_keys(password)
time.sleep(1)
login_button.click()
WebDriverWait(chrome, 15).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, LOGGED_XPATH)))
chrome.get(contest_url)
WebDriverWait(chrome, 15).until(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, COMMENT_XPATH)))
while True:

comment_input = chrome.find_element(By.XPATH, COMMENT_XPATH)
comment_input.click()
comment_input = chrome.find_element(By.XPATH, COMMENT_XPATH)

post_button.click()
time.sleep(2)
waiting_to_unblock = True
while waiting_to_unblock:
try:
# if element is present then IG blocked comments
chrome.find_element_by_class_name("HGN2m")
print("blocked")
# wait 1 min before commenting again
time.sleep(60)
post_button = chrome.find_element(By.XPATH, POST_XPATH).click()
time.sleep(2)
except:
waiting_to_unblock = False
number_of_tags += 1
# set a random waiting time to mess with IG algorithm
seconds_to_wait = random.randint(1, 60)
print("Tagged: {}\nWaiting for {} seconds\n".format(
comment, seconds_to_wait))
time.sleep(seconds_to_wait)The reason why I'm not updating the master branch with the above solution is because of other users mentioning that this version worked for them. If you still face any issues with the script I'd be happy to help!
