Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/davidarroyo1234/InstagramUnfollowers/issues/244

Tried with 3 different browsers, always getting this error.

No idea how to troubleshoot this further, the code is unreadable to me, skills issue.

Safari returns:
SyntaxError: Unexpected string literal "),l.default.createElement(". Expected ')' to end an argument list.

Chrome returns:
Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

Have you tried logging into your own Instagram profile?

False: https://instagram.com
True: https://instagram.com/namesurname123

@backstab5983

I remember my friend had a similar problem with the base url.

I will check when I have availability.

Is there a special setting specific to your account? (For the account currently logged in)

For example:

Private Profile
Business Account
Blogger (Content Creator) Account

Yep, it's set to Professional (Content Creator), hence obviously public.

Though it's not something I changed recently, it was working when I closed the issue after following your advice, now I'm getting the same error.

Thanks in advance!

Can you try in another computer and with another account? Its hard to reproduce with that error.

If still happen can you provide a larger error log or a screenshot? thanks :)

I only have one Mac available, I tried with a fresh instance of Firefox on a private account and I encounter the same error.
