Any updates on this? I've encountering the same error.

Here it is in it's entirety:

/.../venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/instagram_private_api/endpoints/upload.py:397: UserWarning: This endpoint has not been fully tested.
  warnings.warn('This endpoint has not been fully tested.', UserWarning)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I've also tried using the extensions module but to no avail.

@JulianToledano I don't believe it's related to the ContentPublishing pipeline. That has always been blocked off, thus, unless this never worked it would have to be something else?

@shelsoloa I don't know if it is related to the ContentPublishing pipeline or not. What i know is that there was and endpoint before that let you do it. Somehow the reality is that now you just can upload pics with web scrapping. :anguished:

Wait.. can or cant?

If there's a way to do this I would love a lead on it.
