I get this result. Object data is empty { "count": 4, "page_info": { "has_next_page": false, "end_cursor": null }, "data": [] }

web api has limit 150 requests per hour count*150 requests= max scraped users, another thing to consider is that your account will get web api block eventually if used just for scraping.

getFollowers and getFollowings is broken

zanotta commented 4 years ago

Yes, having the same problem with both getFollowers and getFollowings. It's not API limit problem, because all other requests works.

Some idea to solve the problem?

zanotta commented 4 years ago

There were some changes on the Instagram API, I guess we have to wait.

Im trying to create a function to get followers given a userInformation (which is the information we get from getUserbyUsername) and i have this exact problem. but if I run api.getFollowers outside that function, I have no problems with that. any idea of why?
