ISSUE CLOSED!

It works most of the time, sometimes this bottom login comes up now! This might be while I am on temporary ban only, but I'm not positive.

Right now one of my accounts is running, but the other one keeps running into this screen, it is such a weird situation and not exactly always repeatable so I'm not quite sure how we are going to tackle this.

The weird thing is it shows up after the bot actually logs in? Maybe this is a glitch with the Instagram site itself because it would happen only 1-100 now it happens more, and now 100% on one of my accounts!

It is working now after re-launch but wondering if anyone else noticed this and if so has a solution, or knows what is going on?

The fix to this error in the first screenshot was simply clearing the cache and cookies in Firefox browser! minor! lol

The bot is working great!

Had this problem because I opened another session. only declare webdriver under init

can someone pls explain what this section is doing exactly
for i in range(1, 7):

hmmm. I cannot seem to get the code to work on my mac. Can anyone assist? It might be related to the python my computer is using?

Now I have this error message on PyCharm:
/Users/student/PycharmProjects/youtube/venv/bin/python "/Users/student/Desktop/youtube vid/instagram.py"
File "/Users/student/Desktop/youtube vid/instagram.py", line 1
import selenium from webdriver
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Process finished with exit code 1

sir its from selenium import webdriver

How do you add the comments.txt, config.json and hashtags.txt to the code? I am receiving the following error: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './instaRes/config.json'

I am able to login, but I am kicked out right away. Thank you

Everything works for me except the actual liking part. The program opens up the picture and never actually likes it

its worked owww really supwe

can you do it without needing a password, just by username?
