Hey Guys,

I used the scraping function for my main account. When I try to interact with the targets, I receive the error below. Unfortunately, I am a total newbie. I would appreciate if someone could help me. I also tried to find the fault in line 15 column 1. But I don't know to which file it is related. All I checked were fine. I also checked if the interaction_data.db is corrupt. After I figured out how to open the file, I couldn't find anything.

Thanks for your help!

Edit: I exclude that it is because of the database file, because if I delete the file or use a targets.txt, the same error message appears.
Edit2: If I switch to an older version (in my case Insomniac-3.4.2) it works fine. But obviously I can't use the new features then.

Hey @scheherazade1!
Looks like your filters.json (or your config file) is not properly formatted. You can attach them here if you want us to help you
