JSONDecodeError and ActionError while running on AWS ubuntu instance.
ParthJhunjhunwala opened this issue · comments
I installed the package on my windows command prompt and the crawler worked perfectly.
I need to make it work on my AWS ubuntu instance but it throws a JSONDecodeError and ActionError.
I am running a AWS with Ubunutu release 18.04 LTS.
My commands on AWS instance were:
pip3 install pygram
python3
>>> from pygram import PyGram
>>> pygram = PyGram()
>>>profile = pygram.get_profile('eminem')
Hi @ParthJhunjhunwala, this means that Instagram does not send a proper json, usually due to arbitrary rate limits. I've just checked it and it's working for me. You might try with a different IP address or use a proxy. You can actually do the latter by just setting an environment variable: export HTTPS_PROXY="http://localhost:8080
before launching the script.
P.S. You can try with: https://www.sslproxies.org/
Hey @brunneis, I tried setting a localhost proxy as well as using proxy servers.
I get the following errors now:

What do I do now?
