Description

Not able to resolve challenges

I'm using the code as follows:

return Bluebird.try(async () => {
            await this.ig.simulate.preLoginFlow();
            this.loggedInUser = await this.ig.account.login(username, password);
            return this.loggedInUser;
        }).catch(IgCheckpointError, async () => {
            console.log('Checkpoint detected:', this.ig.state.checkpoint);
            
            // Attempt to automatically resolve the checkpoint
            await this.ig.challenge.auto(true);
            console.log('Challenge info:', this.ig.state.checkpoint);
            
            // If the checkpoint was resolved automatically, try logging in again
            this.loggedInUser = await this.ig.account.login(username, password);
            return this.loggedInUser;
        }).catch(error => {
            console.error('Login error:', error);
            throw error;
        });

And whenever there is a 'challenge_required' I detect the checkpoint well but when trying to solve the challenge (doesn't matter if I use auto, or deltaLoginReview) I get the " IgNoCheckpointError: No checkpoint data available" error:

[neliocaa]

same here, now im trying use 2fa to avoid falling into this challenge, however, it shows an error in the code and verification, I am using this example: https://github.com/dilame/instagram-private-api/blob/master/examples/2fa-sms-login.example.ts

[BURSUC31]

Aren't any headers in the browser that should be added to simulate the browser request? this way you won't be getting so many errors or it s because of the volume of requests per sec?I got the same problem here

[uwuv3]

I think they use websocket system

[sunmasters]

I think they use websocket system

I don't think so. When account has challenge, no socket authentication possible

[BURSUC31]

websocket connection to check if the browser sends back data to server like a ping pong or idk and if that ping pong is maintained the challenge wont appear? i thought someone from here would know a solution for this problem

i dont get this challenge in browser or my phone, thats why i cant solve it

[uwuv3]

and when i get this challenge browser says "an error occurred", and i cant seee instagram page (Unless I solve the challenge with url) it locks account

[sunmasters]

Try to reopen the app. Force close app first.
Do refresh in the profile page multiple times

unlocking by entering the challenge url

[sunmasters]

It could be captcha challenge, have to submit Google captcha.
