After running the get_my_followers.py script, nothing appears to be writted on my_followers.txt Does anyone have the same issue?

yes, i have the same issue

edit: line #77 of bot.py on 01 folder didn't work following = self.driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[contains(text(), 'Following')]")

Instagram have changed their UI, instead of showing you who you're following and letting you unfollow them, it now shows who you're not following and allowing you to follow them; which is the complete reverse logic – code needs to be adapted.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not actively maintaining the code anymore. Feel free to contribute!

change line #77 in bot.py into this: following = self.driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[contains(@class, 'd7ByH')]")

at least this worked for me

Little Tutorial to get all you following

1. https://www.instagram.com/download/request/ Choose JSON and Download
2. Open the Email Download the .zip (it takes a time to get the email)
3. Open the Folder followers_and_following
4. Upload the following.json to https://data.page/json/csv
5. Then only copy the line with the insta urls (https://www.instagram.com/xxxxx https://www.instagram.com/xxxx https://www.instagram.com/xxx https://www.instagram.com/xxxxxx) into the my_followers.txt
6. Finished

Great idea @Martin-Hausleitner I have my followers now recorded. Only issue is the program still doesnt know how to work with the new instagram UI, so when it searches for friends in common, it goes into an infinite loop. I also implemented the fix at line 77. Does anyone have a working fix in 2021? Thanks guys!
