ClientConnectionError

[goodday-94]

Hello everyone,

I tried to log in based on:

from instagrapi import Client
cl = Client()
cl.login(ACCOUNT_USERNAME, ACCOUNT_PASSWORD)

and the ClientConnectionError happened, the detail as shown below:

File "/Users/zhangql/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/instagrapi/mixins/private.py", line 296, in _send_private_request
"{e.class.name} {e}".format(e=e))

ClientConnectionError: ConnectionError HTTPSConnectionPool(host='i.instagram.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/v1/accounts/contact_point_prefill/ (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x106946d10>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 60] Operation timed out'))

So what should I do to solve this problem and thanks everyone！

Most likely, your proxy server or net-provider is blocking or not able to https, this is written in the traceback
ClientConnectionError: ConnectionError HTTPSConnectionPool(host='i.instagram.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/v1/accounts/contact_point_prefill/ (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x106946d10>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 60] Operation timed out'))

For me, the mistake I was making was in the line
cl.set_proxy( "https://username:password@host:port” )

where it should have been

cl.set_proxy( "http://username:password@host:port” )

took a long while to spot
