[BUG] HTTPError: 500 Server Error / ClientError: Unknown Server Error

[zmotan]

Describe the bug When I try to post on Instagram I get some wierd error I didn't find in documentation. It worked the first time and now its not working anymore even when I try to post it with an example code. EDIT: typo

To Reproduce

    async def igpost(self, ctx, *message):
        if ctx.message.attachments:
            photo = igcl.photo_download_by_url(url=ctx.message.attachments[0].url, folder="C:/ZmotanBOT/data", filename="temppostpic")
            igcl.photo_upload(path=photo,
                              location=Location(name="zmotan.com", lat=46.057661, lng=14.505980),
                              usertags=[Usertag(user=igzmotaninfo, x=0.5, y=0.5)],
                              caption=message)
            return
        else:
            print("no pic")

Traceback

    raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: ClientError: Unknown Server Error.

Expected behavior Should upload the photo from attachment as a post.

Thank you for your time and answer, I will do few tests in next few days and will post an update.

Best regards, Z

From my experience, if your photo is not a JPEG or WEBP file, it will not work, thus might trigger such error.

Make sure to convert any .png to .jpg first ;)

Thank you for clearing that out, I believe this might be the root of the problem.
