hard limit in --count #33

jacekpoplawski commented 3 years ago

hello, I want to submit again issue from issues https://github.com/drawrowfly/instagram-scraper/issues/28 and https://github.com/drawrowfly/instagram-scraper/issues/29

let's try following command: instatouch user instagram -c 45 output size is 60534 then: instatouch user instagram -c 47 output size is 68628 then: instatouch user instagram -c 49 output size is 68628 then: instatouch user instagram -c 100 output size is 68628

let's switch to another user: instatouch user metallica -c 45 output size is 50761 then: instatouch user metallica -c 47 output size is 57835 and: instatouch user metallica -c 49 output size is 57835

the same happens with "likers", there is some kind of hard limit and I get only subset of all likers

in https://github.com/drawrowfly/instagram-scraper/issues/28 you wrote that app will be updated but I don't see any change related to that in the git history, are you sure the fix was applied?

I looked at code and if I understand correctly the value passed to --count is correct but there is some additional mechanism which limits the data

I tried to use --timeout but no help, you wrote "Documentation Documentation" in https://github.com/drawrowfly/instagram-scraper/issues/29 but I was not able to find any other option to help with that issue

I am also experiencing this behavior. Only getting up to 50 results from likers
