Paid version #1236

This library is dead because of the paid version. I think few people will go to the paid version the price is too expensive, 500 dollars/month is crazy. For that price is better to buy a instagram online ready service, instead of paying library and coding.

In this free library everytime I search for a something in the issues I see no solutions in the issues and they are always closed without a final resolution. That's bad. This is no more open source , that sucks.

If there was no paid version you would have more people contributing to develop code and documentation

Probably you will delete this. but okay

Totally disagree. Take a look at the python version or the php version.

This library is the most active one in this field (IG Private API). And the paid version is for some service providers. $500/month for a professional lib maintainer is cheap.

Main point is how reliable it is because from what I remember Instagram bans all traffic that uses this library by recognizing the patterns for device id generation, used headers and cookie management between requests. Why pay for something that is not usable anyway?

No :)
