[BUG]ClipNotUpload error in clips.py

[NicoRulli]

I am trying to upload a reel and I am getting the error instagrapi.exceptions.ClipNotUpload: Unknown ({'response': None})

To Reproduce if media_type == 2 and product_type == 'clips': #Reel cl.clip_upload(uploadPath, caption)

Traceback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/Shared/InstagramAutomated/file2.py", line 223, in cl.clip_upload(uploadPath, caption) File "/Users/nicolasrulli/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/instagrapi/mixins/clip.py", line 144, in clip_upload raise ClipNotUpload(response=self.last_response, **self.last_json) instagrapi.exceptions.ClipNotUpload: Unknown ({'response': None})

Can someone explain what the issue is? I am downloading a clip from instagram and trying to upload it to my own account.

What is in uploadPath and caption? show a full example so i can reproduce it

[NicoRulli]

upload path is just where the file is stored. And caption is just a string to get posted along with the clip.

downloadPath = "/Users/Shared/InstagramAutomated/downloadedPosts"
uploadPath = downloadPath + "/" + files[1]
caption = f"Check out this post by {poster}! \nTag your Friends and comment below! \n . \n . \n . \n . \n . \n . \n . \n . \n #billfish #bluemarlin #sailfish #centerconsole #simrad #furuno #sailfishing #fishing #gamefish #sportfishing #pelagicgirl #pelagicworldwide #fishingteam #tuna #bluefin #jigging #trolling #offshore #swordfish #panamafishing #spearfishing #bahamasfishing #catchandcook #saltlife #catchoftheday #pescasub #floridawildlife #floridakeys"

What is files[1]? what file format? what size is it? send me a link so I can download it

[NicoRulli]

It isn't working with any clip I give it. files[1] just gets the first thing in the folder. I just noticed above the traceback there are these printouts: Analyzing CLIP file "/Users/Shared/InstagramAutomated/downloadedPosts/bviral_3130934838894907221.mp4" Generating thumbnail "/Users/Shared/InstagramAutomated/downloadedPosts/bviral_3130934838894907221.mp4.jpg"...

I believe the thumbnail is the issue? is .mp4.jpg a thing?

[adw0rd]

Maybe I don't know, print out your files[1] and understand what you are passing

[NicoRulli]

files[1] is the file name. below are printouts and the results: print(uploadPath) print(files[1])

/Users/Shared/InstagramAutomated/downloadedPosts/david_lassley_3070250373240527167.mp4 david_lassley_3070250373240527167.mp4

[NicoRulli]

The inputs for the clip_upload function I am giving are file path, and caption. therefore to get upload path I am taking the download path, adding a / and adding the filename.

[adw0rd]

I checked on your media "david_lassley - 3070250373240527167" and everything works fine, there are no bugs in instagrapi, read the documentation and understand your logic in code

I am using the function 'clip_upload' correctly as I am giving it a path and caption but it isn't uploading therefore there is likely an issue. I will attempt to re-code my project to work the way you did it.

[NicoRulli]

Here is my new code to download and upload in the way that you have it:

media_type = cl.media_info(Mlpk).dict()['media_type']

product_type = cl.media_info(Mlpk).dict()['product_type']

m = cl.media_info(Mlpk)

url = m.video_url

downloadPath = "/Users/Shared/InstagramAutomated/downloadedPosts"

print("media type: " + str(media_type)) print("Attempting to download...")

if media_type == 1: #picture

cl.photo_download(MLPK, downloadPath)

p = cl.photo_download_by_url(m.video_url)

if media_type == 2 and product_type == 'clips': p = cl.clip_download_by_url(m.video_url) #Reel

cl.clip_download(MLPK, downloadPath)

if media_type == 2 and product_type == 'feed': #Video

cl.video_download(MLPK, downloadPath)

p = cl.video_download_by_url(m.video_url)

if media_type == 2 and product_type == 'igtv': #IGTV

cl.igtv_download(MLPK,downloadPath)

p = cl.igtv_download_by_url(m.video_url)

if media_type == 8: #Album

cl.album_download(MLPK, downloadPath)

p = cl.album_download(url,downloadPath)

poster = "@" + str(cl.media_user(Mlpk).dict()['username']) location = cl.media_info(Mlpk).dict()['location']

if location != None: location = str(location['name']) caption = "Check out this post by " + poster + " out near " + location + "! \nTag your Friends and comment below! \n . \n . \n . \n . \n . \n . \n . \n . \n #billfish #bluemarlin #sailfish #centerconsole #simrad #furuno #sailfishing #fishing #gamefish #sportfishing #pelagicgirl #pelagicworldwide #fishingteam #tuna #bluefin #jigging #trolling #offshore #swordfish #panamafishing #spearfishing #bahamasfishing #catchandcook #saltlife #catchoftheday #pescasub #floridawildlife #floridakeys"

else: caption = f"Check out this post by {poster}! \nTag your Friends and comment below! \n . \n . \n . \n . \n . \n . \n . \n . \n #billfish #bluemarlin #sailfish #centerconsole #simrad #furuno #sailfishing #fishing #gamefish #sportfishing #pelagicgirl #pelagicworldwide #fishingteam #tuna #bluefin #jigging #trolling #offshore #swordfish #panamafishing #spearfishing #bahamasfishing #catchandcook #saltlife #catchoftheday #pescasub #floridawildlife #floridakeys"

files = os.listdir(downloadPath) print() print("Attempting to Upload...")

if media_type == 1: #picture cl.photo_upload(p, caption)

if media_type == 2 and product_type == 'clips': #Reel cl.clip_upload(p, caption)

if media_type == 2 and product_type == 'feed': #Video cl.video_upload(p, caption)

if media_type == 2 and product_type == 'igtv': #IGTV cl.igtv_upload(p, caption)

if media_type == 8: #Album cl.album_upload(p, caption)

and here is the exact traceback: Analyzing CLIP file "/Users/Shared/InstagramAutomated/163282740_1206051646680168_5382345465419626433_n.mp4" Generating thumbnail "/Users/Shared/InstagramAutomated/163282740_1206051646680168_5382345465419626433_n.mp4.jpg"...

I am getting the same error.

Can you tell me why this is happening? it is downloading fine but the upload is the issue. I am giving it the path the way you gave it and the caption is a string. I don't know why this isn't working considering I am essentially copying your code.

[adw0rd]

start from simple to complex, this is basic knowledge in programming

first use my code as it works i tested on myself

then add your logic until you hit the problem

[NicoRulli]

I just posted to the still-open post with 11 lines of code that doesn't work. lets chat there and find the issue out.
