No more max_id param #9

Closed oddmouse closed 8 years ago

oddmouse commented 8 years ago

It looks like Instagram removed the max_id param, breaking this scraper. It seems to just return the first 20 post no matter what max_id is set to, causing an infinite loop.

I don't think I can reproduce this using the code in master. The issue might be that I haven't released the latest code... could you give me the output of instagram-screen-scrape --version?

This appears to be working fine now. Instagram must have fixed max_id on their end. When I posted this issue I would get the same results hitting https://www.instagram.com/[user]/media/?max_id=[last_id] as with https://www.instagram.com/[user]/media. Since the last_id was always the same, it caused an endless loop.
