Login Required Error

[rishabh7683]

Hi @adw0rd

Can you please explain about below error and how to handle this?

During handling of the above exception (403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/direct_v2/inbox/?visual_message_return_type=unseen&thread_message_limit=10&persistentBadging=true&limit=20&selected_filter=unread&fetch_reason=manual_refresh), another exception occurred:

[adw0rd]

after LoginRequired you need to call cl.relogin()

[rishabh7683]

Thank you for your reply.

cl = Client()
cl.load_settings(sav_path)
cl.login(uname,pswrd)
cl.relogin()

In 👆 way - Correct?

[adw0rd]

cl = Client()
cl.load_settings(sav_path)
cl.login(uname,pswrd)
try:
    cl.get_timeline_info()
except LoginRequired:
    cl.relogin()
    cl.dump_settings(sav_path)
