Thanks for sharing, the pic is referring to a new feature (page) that IG is using to track some user activities. Last PR was intended to handle that new page, did you use the latest commit from git? It is 0.6.12 but with extra commits.

I work through a virtual environment in PyCharm, install also through PyCharm.

Still having this problem. Simply due to a new cookie screen @elulcao referenced to. Any change this will be updated soon?

[elulcao]

@CoderGOG This is the new page that must be problem. In my region, is not deployed yet, so I introduced a possible fix in latest commit. Did you use the latest commit?

[CoderGOG]

Thanks for the answer. I updated the InstaPy python library (still doesn't work after), but that isn't sufficient I suppose?

[elulcao]

It seems that function accept_igcookie_dialogue(browser, logger) needs to be updated, or this xpath xpath["accept_igcookie_dialogue"] = {"accept_button": "//button[text()='Accept']"} need to be updated also. The main issue, then is just to automate the action for clicking the Accept button.

@elulcao @CoderGOG what I did was in the function login_user (login_util.py) when cookies can't be loaded, the instagram homepage is loaded again, after which cookies need to be accepted. I added the line:

accept_igcookie_dialogue(browser, logger)

Then it works when logging in.

This is only necessary for the first login when there is no cookie yet.

@ikbenpatrickbrinksma I guess you are correct. In the geographic zone Im living at, that page has not be released, so I cannot test in my local the function at al. I posted in other issues comments about the issue Im facing, also requested some help to verify the correct functionality; but not response for now. I you can propose a possible fix, please let us now.

[iampatrickbrinksma]

@elulcao I suggest to add the line as I suggested.

Add line:

accept_igcookie_dialogue(browser, logger)

after web_address_navigator(browser, ig_homepage) on line 317
