Instagram new limits #34

Open iSimonWeb opened 6 years ago

iSimonWeb commented 6 years ago

I just noticed Instagram made some changes to the graphql availability. It seems that followers/following "endpoints" return error on any requests with "first" parameter greater than 50. So by now we should make (followersCount+followingCount)/50 requests to get the whole lists.

When attempting to do so, IG responds with: {"message":"execution failure","errors":[{"message":"Something is wrong. Please check your input and try again.","locations":[]}],"data":{"user":null},"status":"fail"}

I've just read about the April 2018 official API rate request limits, cutting down from 5k per hour to 200 per hour. I don't see any easy solution even more so in this our hacky way.
