I am using instagram-scraper for scrapping, it runs fine from the console but the scraped files have zero bytes size.
Forums
Scraped files have size zero
It sounds like the download itself is failing for some reason. I would expect that there would be an error message telling you that somewhere in the output or logs.

No I am not getting any error on console or log.
That seems weird. I would think it should report errors like that and the reason for them. Perhaps you can ask the developers of the software where the error messages go when something fails to download.
The module have a logger to log if error may arise. And the software is working quite fine on my local machine.
Another software working fine on my system failed over here.

It looks like you're trying to access a site that's not on the list of whitelisted sites for free accounts. If it's a site with an official, supported API, then send us a link to the documentation and we'll see if we can whitelist it.
Hi, This module only connect to https://cdninstagram.com. Please add it to white-list. The documentation is here. Also, This module cannot use any proxy Thanks for your help
In order to whitelist something we need official API documentation from the site that needs to be whitelisted; the link you gave goes to a third-party library called "Instalooter" which explicitly says that it's bypassing the Instagram API, so that's not really official...
Hello, Could you please add telethon (official Telegram APi) into white list?
Could you give a link to the API documentation?
The link is: https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon
The link is here: https://telethon.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
Hmm, if that's just connecting to Telegram then it should already work -- all of their servers are whitelisted as far as we know. However, if it's trying to connect over websockets then that won't work from a free account -- our whitelisting system doesn't handle websockets to any server.
What error are you getting when you use it?
Do you use proxy to connect to telegram? My bot can not connect to telegram and get this error: Attempt 1 at connecting failed: GeneralProxyError: Socket error: 403: Forbidden [*] Note: The HTTP proxy server may not be supported by PySocks (must be a CONNECT tunnel proxy) Can you help me?
Yes, you'll need to use the proxy to connect to Telegram from a free account.
Could you give the full error traceback?

[edit by admin: formatting]
Ah, I see -- it's not using HTTP, it's using Telegram's MTProto protocol. Unfortunately that won't work on a free account on PythonAnywhere :-( We only support HTTP and HTTPS for free accounts.
