Hello. First of all, nice program.

I would like to know (I didn't found on the examples) how can I get the list of followers and following people from my account. Would you mind to tell me how could I get them?

Thanks.

You can use the following methods:-

instatouch.followers('username',options)

and

instatouch.following('username',options)

options to always include sessionid (How to mention sessionid in options -> This can be found in the documentation for options) (How to find sessionid -> Each time you log in to instagram.com, Instagram saves cookies. This cookie document contains session id. You can find sessionid by checking cookie data for Instagram saved on your browser)

Hope it helps
