I want to find a specific user from a user's follower list. I can search from the iphone app. Is this possible?

Yes

@sunmasters Thanks for the reply. I read the source code but could not find an API that allows user search. Which API is it?

[sunmasters]

here is the api https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/friendships/userid/followers/?search_surface=follow_list_page&query=fir&enable_groups=true&rank_token= replace userid with user id

here is the api https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/friendships/userid/followers/?search_surface=follow_list_page&query=fir&enable_groups=true&rank_token= replace userid with user id

Getting a 404 here

Same with ig.feed.accountFollowers('userid') and feed.accountFollowing('userid');
