I need to unfollow about 600 people. Will i get banned?

Hi there,
I set the USERNAME and PASSWORD variables correctly but still cannot authenticate my username.

Does this script still works?
Do you need to do anything beforehand?

When we are trying to generate the unfollow_users_list we are getting wrong results.

This occurrs because in the line 256 when comparing the following_list and followers_list using the user dict:

unfollow_users_list = [user for user in following_list if user not in followers_list]

some users has a diferent query parameter oe on the profile_pic_url, so in these cases the users are the same, but result as different users. Like we can see on the following example:

user_on_the_follower_list = {'id': '226800192', 'username': 'test_user', 'full_name': 'Test User',
                   'profile_pic_url': 'https://scontent-gru1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-19/s150x150/81628840_1492995750855871_111111111111111111_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-gru1-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_ohc=KNwAxZQWkU4AX9JlCMo&oh=6c054feb11f013f3aaf29ccc5322c1d6&oe=5ED3E05D',
                   'is_private': True, 'is_verified': False, 'followed_by_viewer': True,
                   'requested_by_viewer': False}
user_on_the_following_list = {'id': '226800192', 'username': 'test_user', 'full_name': 'Test user',
                    'profile_pic_url': 'https://scontent-gru1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-19/s150x150/81628840_1492995750855871_111111111111111111_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-gru1-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_ohc=KNwAxZQWkU4AX9JlCMo&oh=dc5f0df641c05645cb2cd3858f75375c&oe=5ED7D4DD',
                    'is_private': True, 'is_verified': False, 'followed_by_viewer': True,
                    'requested_by_viewer': False}

print(user_on_the_following_list == user_on_the_follower_list) # results false

In this case &oe=5ED3E05D is diferent in each profile_pic_url

After pulling the docker image, i tried to execute and it and it correctly executes the container while creating the cache folder in the current working directory which is empty, aside that it does nothing

When I run

mac-user@mac insta-unfollower % USERNAME=insta-username PASSWORD=insta-password python3 insta-unfollower.py 

on macOS, post data is sent like that:

{'username': 'mac-user', 'password': 'insta-password '}

As it can be seen, USERNAME from env is coming as my macOS username.

One possible solution would be changing the USERNAME keyword to something different from default env variables.

File "insta-unfollower.py", line 6

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

"login failed, verify user/password combination"

The account and password its ok but i can login with the script.

Hi,
First I appriaciate this wonderful stuff.

I have a little question, can we fetch Current follow requests users list appearing here.
https://www.instagram.com/accounts/access_tool/current_follow_requests

i run the script on OsX but the script don't work, can u help me ?

    print(response_data)

And it shows

Tried to run this script with both the Docker version as well as without Docker and I am having no luck.

Without Docker, I am getting this error:

I just ran this with Docker via

docker pull tuxity/insta-unfollower:latest
docker run -d -v $(pwd)/cache:/usr/src/insta-unfollower/cache --env INSTA_USERNAME=myusername --env INSTA_PASSWORD=mypassword tuxity/insta-unfollower:latest

First run - after 3 successful unfollows I get this error:

I know this issue was closed on #13 and #41 but I got something new so I'll just open a new one.

Same error message goes

    is_logged = login()
  File "/Users/canor/scripts/insta-unfollower/insta-unfollower.py", line 83, in login
    if response_data['authenticated']:

so I printed response_data and it shows

{'message': 'checkpoint_required', 'checkpoint_url': '/challenge/224135293/7TSGU0RpjF/', 'lock': False, 'flow_render_type': 0, 'status': 'fail'}

what would that mean? any advice would be helpful. thanks.

I got this log with any account I'm trying. (Fore real account or even with random strings for user and password I have the same result)

No csrf token found in cookies, maybe you are temp ban? Wait 1 hour and retry
login failed, verify user/password combination

Any idea why?

Hello !
I get this error for clarifai :
ERROR: clarifai 2.6.2 has requirement configparser<4,>=3.5, but you'll have configparser 5.0.1 which is incompatible.
Does this mean I would have to somehow downgrade configparser ?

Could you also explain the steps to move to PATH in your tutorial ? that would be a great help for beginners !
WARNING: The script jsonschema is installed in '/home/gab/.local/bin' which is not on PATH. Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location. WARNING: The script webdriverdownloader is installed in '/home/gab/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.

Thanks a lot for your amazing work :)

Hi Kevin,

I attempted to run the script using Powershell and Docker.

I ran:

docker build -t tuxity/insta-unfollower .
docker run -d -v ${pwd}/cache:/usr/src/insta-unfollower/cache --env INSTA_USERNAME=myusername --env INSTA_PASSWORD=mypassword tuxity/insta-unfollower

It completed, but the only output appears to be a SHA256 hash:
5d737d9604498df8c3dbd6ef4a46fdfc9a3c9f4b643acc29f9541713baaa963a

The above is the only output I received.

I also attempted this in Command Prompt.
I ran:

docker build -t tuxity/insta-unfollower .
docker run -d -v cache:/usr/src/insta-unfollower/cache --env INSTA_USERNAME=myusername --env INSTA_PASSWORD=mypassword tuxity/insta-unfollower

This also only provided me a hash:
cb50361625533de797e0df33e71a4fbf29d44790b90ed2da1de5f15843acd8ff

Additionally, I attempted to just run it using Python3 and used the following:
python3 insta-unfollower.py USERNAME PASSWORD

I received the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\zz\Downloads\insta-unfollower-master\insta-unfollower.py", line 295, in <module>

    response = json.loads(extract.group(1))
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

With this many attempts, I feel like I must be doing something wrong. Is this something I'm doing wrong or does something else need to be fixed?

Cheers

Might be the same as #49 but there's no solution yet in the latest Docker image I pulled.

Hi!

Docker logs Please check Instagram app for a security confirmation that it is you trying to login. and the process immediately exits. On the Instagram app I get the "Suspicious login attempt" screen and confirm it was me, but the script doesn't continue and it requests confirmation every time I rerun the script. This issue persists across multiple accounts.

Does this happen on your side?

please provide INSTA_USERNAME and INSTA_PASSWORD environement variables. Abording...

can you tell me where and how to input the username and password as this is not helping
