Following the example on on the wiki: sterra compare F_ID_1 F_ID_2 --common-usernames

I have tried the full path to each of the files for comparison , also tried with the file ID's found listed in history for the files im trying to compare but both return KeyError: 'The input list must contain (at least) the key "id"'

Is this an issue or am I using it incorrectly?

such a good tool! I have problem with exporting the followers username. i tested with 2 or 3 diffrent account several times but each time it's stop under 10000 usernames and i can't resume the exporting. part for exporting is not work for me. the error is: PrivateAccError: --username is a private account that you're not following. after this function didn't go forward and stop. i followed the account but it's not working.

Howdy! This looks really useful - getting this error though:

"HTTP Error 400 (Bad Request) on GraphQL Query. Retrying with shorter page length."

this is exact error: "anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/instaloader-4.8.1-py3.7.egg/instaloader/instaloadercontext.py", line 345, in get_json raise QueryReturnedBadRequestException("400 Bad Request") instaloader.exceptions.QueryReturnedBadRequestException: 400 Bad Request"

Thanks!

When performing a search as sterra -u xxxxx -t followers, (xxxxx I replace it with a user) I get the following error

Installed Sterra using pip and manually (git clone).

After running sterra, I get this:

Any help will be very appreciated.

Hey! When I scrape the followers of a specific account it starts but stops about 30-35% with that error message:

TargetException: Be sure that you are following the account you are aiming for if it is in private.

Is there anything I can do about it? Didn't you had a delay function in your script?

Hi,

I find this project very interesting, what's your preferred channel for a private chat @novitae ? My org. is looking for specialists with your expertise.

Regards,

Excited to give the new update a spin!!

Trying to work through this login issue: "Please check Instagram app for a security confirmation that it is you trying to login."

I keep acknowledging it was me but to no avail -- might be due to thinking it's a windows 10 phone (who has one of those, right?) -- if I figure it out will update....

Hey,

I'm having an issue with resuming a "part" content, I'm using the following command syntax: sterra export -ssid xxx -u xxx -p xxx

When it hit 100% on the followers extraction, the "RateLimitError" showed, so I didn't use sterra for three days, (usually used it every 24h to finish the extraction phase) now when trying to resume the script with the syntax above - I'm still getting the "RateLimitError".

When using Instagram on mobile or web, I am able to use the search, like photos, follow etc... To make sure, I ran sterra again but without the "-p" flag using the following: sterra export -ssid xxx -u xxx -t followers and it started the process all over again, which meant it wasn't a rate-limit blockage.

Also, the "Getting users details" has been completed to 100% (then again rate limit).

Last issue was force closed, so here again. I tried the solution mentioned before. I have added the running of main here: https://pastebin.com/T3xdg2GG However, it just prints out the default print (not the export not with arguments). It is not calling the new parser() functions, just the old one.

All I want to do is to get followers directly from python and get a path to the file.

When exporting to a csv file using this command: sterra export -ssid {SSID} -u {Username} -t followers -f csv

I get an error saying UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 397-398: character maps to <undefined>

Noticed that when a rate limit occurs when fetching a list of usernames (and before hydrating the profiles), the state is not saved. The script restarts the fetch from the beginning the next time the script is run. This patch adds an option to resume from the last state similar to the existing feature for saving partial fetching of full profiles.
