Instagrapi can't use proxy from ScrapingBee

[dmitrimahayana]

Hi All,

I am using ScrapingBee proxy (https://app.scrapingbee.com/request-builder).
When I tested using this code:

    cl = Client()
    before_ip = cl._send_public_request("https://api.ipify.org/")
    print(f"Before: {before_ip}")

    current_proxy = next_proxy()
    cl.set_proxy(current_proxy)
    after_ip = cl._send_public_request("https://api.ipify.org/")
    print(f"After: {after_ip}")

It returns:

Before: 125.166.117.219
After: 73.52.229.78

So, I assume that the proxy is working fine.
But when I tried to log in using this code:

    cl = Client()
    current_proxy = next_proxy()
    cl.set_proxy(current_proxy)
    cl.login(username, password)

It throws an error:
requests.exceptions.RetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='i.instagram.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/v1/launcher/sync/ (Caused by ResponseError('too many 500 error responses'))

After that, I tried too see the log from ScrapingBee analytics. It seems instagrapi failed to connect to https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/launcher/sync/ with status code 500.

Could you let me know what is the suggestion for this issue?
We want to use proxy to login to instagrapi, and please let me know if you have any recommendation for other proxy.

Solved by changing scrapingbee proxy to storm proxy.
