I have used the "instagram-private-api" npm package to change the bio of my intagram profile over time. the code is working on my local machine but not on my ubuntu hosting(azure).
Here is the code:
const { IgApiClient } = require("instagram-private-api")
const ig = new IgApiClient()
const USERNAME = "username"
const PASSWORD = "pass"
ig.state.generateDevice(USERNAME)
const main = async () => {
await ig.simulate.preLoginFlow()
await ig.account.login(USERNAME, PASSWORD)
// log out of Instagram when done
process.nextTick(async () => await ig.simulate.postLoginFlow())
// change the bio
await ig.account.setBiography("testing stuff...")
}
main()
Here is the error that comes:
(node:1470) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: IgResponseError: POST /api/v1/accounts/msisdn_header_bootstrap/ - 302 Found;

(node:1470) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). (rejection id: 1)
(node:1470) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.
Please Help me with this problem, TIA!
Here all the async function written in the given program may or may not return a value . Thus in an event of not receiving any response from the async function a .catch(...) block is expected . The lack of the .catch(..) is the reason you are getting the unhandled promise rejection error .
You can use the following :
.catch((error)=>{
//enter you logic here
console.log("unhandled promice rejection occured");
});
You have to add this at the end of the async functions .
Thus in an event of event of failure the .catch(...) will catch the error and you can also add additional logic when such events occur .
