apexible commented 5 years ago

hi oleg,

i am trying listing all comments on a post, for example 20.000 comments. i am getting 429 error. i think pointer fixes this problem. but i dont understand using pointer, can you give me a example for using pointer in listing all comments

thank you

429 error - it is error with name "Too Many Requests", pointer can fix this problem if you will add delays for your requests. Example:

from instaparser.agents import Agent
from instaparser.entities import Media
from time import sleep

agent = Agent()
media = Media("Bse7LQqBeOv")
comments, pointer = agent.get_comments(media, count=100)
while not pointer is None:
    comments, pointer = agent.get_comments(media, pointer=pointer, count=100)
    print(comments)
    sleep(2)
