Stopped working #103

luizping · 2021-01-13T07:40:27Z

I think IG changed the policy. Now to see a user page, you have to be logged in. So when you run the script, the GET returns the IG Login Page content.

mahotilo · 2021-01-13T08:11:34Z

My IP is now banned, so I can't do a clear check. But yes, something has changed for me too. I will check later if this new IG behaviour is permanent or only for banned IPs.

benbracedigital · 2021-01-13T11:20:11Z

I'm getting the same issue too after a couple of page views Instagram isn't returning any images and in the console I get

Instagram Feed: It looks like YOUR network has been temporary banned because of too many requests. See https://github.com/jsanahuja/jquery.instagramFeed/issues/25

web-assistant · 2021-01-13T11:25:58Z

I'm also seeing the temporary banned message

mahotilo · 2021-01-13T11:27:00Z

@benbracedigital
Were you able to see images today before ban? What cache_time had you had?

benbracedigital · 2021-01-13T11:28:20Z

Yes I was and I could see the images on a different server this morning but after a couple of refreshes, I get the error message. I've set the cache_time to 120.

mahotilo · 2021-01-13T11:31:48Z

It seems like 120min is not enough now. The new default and recommended value is 6 hours (360)

benbracedigital · 2021-01-13T11:36:10Z

Sure, happy to increase to 6 hours but I would expect it to be cached for 2 hours previously and still work rather than error and not show images within minutes?

mahotilo · 2021-01-13T11:38:14Z

What version of the script do you have? I can see cached images even in the ban.
And true, with an error in the console

benbracedigital · 2021-01-13T11:40:13Z

version 1.3.6

mahotilo · 2021-01-13T11:41:27Z

Caching is only available since 2.0.0

benbracedigital · 2021-01-13T11:43:11Z

Ah, thank you. I'll download the latest version and see what results I get.

mahotilo · 2021-01-13T11:44:15Z

But only after the end of the ban.
I mean "will see" :)

benbracedigital · 2021-01-13T11:51:47Z

I can at least see cached images now. I'm going to deployed to a different (non banned) server to see if that all works.

mahotilo · 2021-01-13T12:02:20Z

Your (browser) IP is banned, not the IP of the server of your page. Personally, I am currently banned on my PC, but I can flawlessly see the script results on my phone with mobile internet.

benbracedigital · 2021-01-13T13:25:49Z

Looks to be working. Thanks for your help

mahotilo · 2021-01-17T14:13:26Z

@luizping

I think IG changed the policy. Now to see a user page, you have to be logged in. So when you run the script, the GET returns the IG Login Page content.

I am finally able to check your issue after my last ban ended. The redirect to IG Login Page is only related to the ban. Now, I am able to open and preview any IG page with only offer to register at the bottom.

mahotilo · 2021-01-18T13:16:05Z

Yeah, it looks like these are tough times. IG has banned me right after the first successful page update. And ban will last 2-3 days, I expect.
Really tough.

Federico-Iglesias · 2021-01-18T18:45:55Z

@mahotilo how are you? Is to possible to avoid this issue by using cache_time setting? Thanks!

mahotilo · 2021-01-18T19:21:46Z

Is to possible to avoid this issue by using cache_time setting? Thanks!

The cache_time is the only cure we have, It works. But it is very easy to catch a ban if you simultaneously use the script on different sites and make experiments :)
I am thinking of increasing the cache_time up to 24 h for myself to avoid future bans.

pabrul · 2021-01-18T20:59:33Z

I'm kind of on an "eternal ban", because sometimes the feed appears and sometimes not, the same happens with this error, sometimes it appears on the console and sometimes it doesn't, I really don't know what to do anymore :(

pabrul · 2021-01-18T20:59:43Z

mahotilo · 2021-01-18T21:59:00Z

@pabrul

...I really don't know what to do anymore :(

First of all, you should update your script to the latest version 2.0.1
This is how your console should look like in case of a ban.

no-liver · 2021-01-19T10:23:15Z

Having the same issue, updated to ver 2.0.1 and console reads:
jquery.instagramFeed.min.js:98 Instagram Feed: Your network has been temporary banned by Instagram because of too many requests. Consider increasing your 'cache_time'. See https://github.com/jsanahuja/jquery.instagramFeed/issues/25 and https://github.com/jsanahuja/jquery.instagramFeed/issues/101 4

Increased cache_time: 360 4 days ago and no change.

Any suggestions to proceed?

mahotilo · 2021-01-19T10:28:40Z

Any suggestions to proceed?

Wait until IG unbans you. Last time, 3 days were enough for me.

mahotilo · 2021-01-20T08:04:14Z

Well, what I have found about the ban from IG.

The script and the caching approach work fine. You can update script output on 1-2 pages without being banned.
But, @jsanahuja... It seems to me, the demo page that has 4 calls of script in a raw with different username + 1 call with a tag might be the point where the visitors get banned.

jsanahuja · 2021-01-20T12:14:30Z

But, @jsanahuja... It seems to me, the demo page that has 4 calls of script in a raw with different username + 1 call with a tag might be the point where the visitors get banned.

Maybe we should change it to use the same username on all the examples. The tag call doesn't matter because it never gets banned as far as I know

mahotilo · 2021-01-20T12:32:37Z

The tag call doesn't matter because it never gets banned as far as I know

I also think so.

Maybe we should change it to use the same username on all the examples.

Or maybe the function should be called only when the corresponding tab is opened? Barcelona should be kept:)

jsanahuja · 2021-01-21T10:02:21Z

Or maybe the function should be called only when the corresponding tab is opened?

Mmm, way better

Barcelona should be kept:)

Hahaha, for sure 😄

ReneR97 · 2021-01-21T10:24:29Z

Just have a question for clarification, if i get banned on one page, will i be banned on all pages that use this script, or is the ban on a per page basis? or is it on a per instagram page basis?

mahotilo · 2021-01-21T10:30:02Z

I believe, it is a ban on your IP. Any nonlogged-in requests from your IP are banned by IG during the ban period.

web-burn · 2021-03-04T11:58:02Z

@mahotilo I noticed this error only for some instagram accounts. Please try the next user name:
modern_presta

Update: The error occur when instagram account doesn't have bio.

m0nclous · 2021-03-04T12:12:10Z

@jsanahuja i noticed this error now. The instagram feed doesn't displayed. Browser firefox. I use the latest version 3.0.0.

This happens when Google responds with an error, because in this case it does not send the header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin"
To understand the reason - you need to reproduce the problem and see the answer from Google manually.

I think this solution is still crude and more logging needs to be added.

I have checked, there is the same error here.
But, it has happened to me before too. It is related to the first VIDEO in the row.

This happens when parse_caption() dont finds a caption and returns false in escape_string where the string is expected.
I will fix it.

mahotilo · 2021-03-04T12:47:43Z

We should definitely have created a separate new issue for this :)

Can you do it please?

@m0nclous this is because you are running the script without a web server. The solution is setting the 'Referer' header but web browsers won't allow us to do that with Javascript for security reasons

thomashdk · 2021-03-04T13:22:37Z

ALso gettings this. Using 3.0.0 whit the "fix" host

mahotilo · 2021-03-04T13:26:47Z

@thomashdk, I can only quote for you

this is because you are running the script without a web server

thomashdk · 2021-03-04T14:01:18Z

On my site I get this ?

mahotilo · 2021-03-04T14:05:22Z

@thomashdk, can you see the script output for the demo page https://www.sowecms.com/demos/jquery.instagramFeed/index.html?

thomashdk · 2021-03-04T14:07:39Z

hmm no ? @mahotilo

@thomashdk, can you see the script output for the demo page https://www.sowecms.com/demos/jquery.instagramFeed/index.html?

mahotilo · 2021-03-04T14:13:40Z

@thomashdk
Hmm, it works for me here

thomashdk · 2021-03-04T14:26:59Z

@mahotilo i'm getting the images but also all the errors..

Weird..

mahotilo · 2021-03-04T14:50:16Z

@thomashdk

Weird..

Not exactly. Some of these errors are caused by fair try to load data directly from IG in case they will change their minds.
Other errors are related to too big amount of images in the TAG example (see #119)

mahotilo · 2021-03-04T14:54:21Z

@thomashdk, to get rid of such errors in the console, follow this recommendation.

thomashdk · 2021-03-09T11:51:30Z

Hi @mahotilo

hmm have already tried with that..
Just getting this now.

mahotilo · 2021-03-09T11:54:33Z

Are you using the script with TAG?

thomashdk · 2021-03-09T11:55:11Z

i'm using Username

thomashdk · 2021-03-09T12:03:31Z

@mahotilo If I change the username to "Instragram" I get their feed.

If I changed it to my own "thomas___dk" then it dont..

mahotilo · 2021-03-09T12:11:10Z

Hmm.
It works here on my test site

            $.instagramFeed({
                'username': 'thomas___dk',
                'container': '#Instafeed',
                'display_profile': true,
                'display_biography': true,
                'display_gallery': true,
                'display_igtv': true,
                'callback': null,
                'styling': true,
                'items': 8,
                'items_per_row': 4,
                'margin': 1,
                'lazy_load': true, 
                'display_captions': true,
                'cache_time': 360,
            });

thomashdk · 2021-03-09T12:19:22Z

You don't have the hostname specified?

Arh you using this ?
https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.instagramFeed/3.0.0/jquery.instagramFeed.min.js

mahotilo · 2021-03-09T12:23:18Z

You don't have the hostname specified?

Yep. But it is not a problem.

Arh you using this ?

I am using version 3.0.3.
