AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send_keys'

[katrikken]

Hi, I am trying to run a simple request on one of my own accounts (username and password of another account) like this:

python crawler.py posts_full -u katrikken -n 1

And I get an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "crawler.py", line 83, in
args.username, args.number, args.mode == "posts_full", args.debug
File "crawler.py", line 27, in get_posts_by_user
ins_crawler = InsCrawler(has_screen=debug)
File "C:\Users\kurys\IdeaProjects\myprojects\instagram-crawler-master\inscrawler\crawler.py", line 70, in init
self.login()
File "C:\Users\kurys\IdeaProjects\myprojects\instagram-crawler-master\inscrawler\crawler.py", line 82, in login
u_input.send_keys(secret.username)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send_keys'

Could you please help me out why is it falling?

I renamed secret.py.dist to secret.py and the contents look like this:

----------start of contents-----------
import os

username = os.environ.get('USERNAME', 'katrikken_dancing')
password = os.environ.get('PASSWORD', '******')
-----------end of contents-----------
Thank you!

I have the same problem with you

Looks like Instagram detects the headless selenium driver and redirects to a page with message "Please wait a few minutes before you try again". If you add the parameter --debug it works as expected because driver is not running on headless mode when --debug parameter is active

@ege-del Your code worked for me. Thank you for sharing!
