Hi. Can you try to set your own Bio (profile) on your account, to something. see if that helps

[belqit]

already did it.

it fails here: that api is not called

[mifi]

Hmm. yes. I can reproduce the problem. also the Bio fix did not work for me etiher. For some reason instagram doesn't send this request when running in puppeteer. When opening the page on my normal chrome (same user), it works.

I tried:

• Identical user agent
• Increase resolution of the browser window (with 1025)

Not sure why it's not sending that request...

[belqit]

this is my fix

async function navigateToUserAndGetData(username) {
  const cachedUserData = userDataCache[username];

  if (isAlreadyOnUserPage(username)) {
    // assume we have data
    return cachedUserData;
  }

  if (cachedUserData != null) {
    // if we already have userData, just navigate
    await navigateToUserWithCheck(username);
    return cachedUserData;
  }

  await navigateToUserWithCheck(username);

  var body = await page.content()
  const r = body.split(/\r?\n/);
  var userData;
  for (var q of r) {
    if (q.includes("edge_followed_by")) {
      q = q.split(",[],[")[1]
      q = q.split("]]]")[0]
      q = JSON.parse(q)
      q = q.data.__bbox.result.response
      q = q.replace(/\\/g, "");
      q = JSON.parse(q);
      userData = q.data.user
      break;
    }
  }

  userDataCache[username] = userData;
  return userData;
}

[mifi]

not sure how that works. I cannot find edge_followed_by in my html

[belqit]

I have it.

Did you check on your profile page html?

[mifi]

yes. instagram.com/myaccount are you using mobile or desktop User agent?

[belqit]

Desktop, I didn't change my user agent

I have two accounts. One works with instauto and the other one gets Timeout. (doesn't sent the web_profile_info request). I did notice a difference:

• account 1: does send web_profile_info, inside HTML it has: <script>qpl_inl("...","tierTwo");</script>
• account 2: doesn't send web_profile_info, inside HTML it has: <script>qpl_inl("...","tierThree");</script>

so I'm thinking instagram gives different users different versions of the frontend code. and the new version no longer sends the web_profile_info request

[belqit]

i have tierOne,tierTwo and tierThree. the edge_followed_by part is between tierTwo and tierThree, it starts with requireLazy(["JSScheduler","ServerJS","ScheduledApplyEach"],function(JSSch...

[mifi]

I tried your JS and it seems to work on our own profile, but when navigating to other accounts, the edge_followed_by doesn't seem to exist in the HTML. did you find any workaround for that?

[belqit]

for me is working on others profile page too, every profile page have a different json.

[mifi]

I have combined your solution with some other workarounds, and that seems to work. releasing a new version.
