Describe your issue

I would like to extract my own account followers usernames to use them in like_users.py I would use like_timeline_feed.py but it's not working for me. It stops too early (almost immediately!) and for some reason most of the timeline's medias do not get the likes...!

Thanks for any advice, again it's a really nice code overall.

Try this:

my_account = bot.get_user_id_from_username("username") my_followers = bot.get_user_followers(my_account)

There's more info on these functions and their parameters on the docs https://instagrambot.github.io/docs/en/For_developers.html

Hope this helps.
