Hey @pixincreate,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

• #104 - Can't upload image[. BUG]
• #103 - [BUG] can't upload image
• #102 - [BUG] cannot upload an image

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job 😄

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.

Cheers,

Hi @pixincreate,
I've made a video about his here why the instagram automation will fail.
I think this repo needs to be updated to the new API or the official API needs to be opened up (if this hasn't already happend).
Cheers.

10 minutes video? Isn't it too long? One sentence will be sufficient to understand that their API changed.

I experience the same problem.
raise IOError("Unable to upload.") OSError: Unable to upload.
