The Method "bot.get_user_followers(my_username)" returns a wrong amount of followers. Currently the number is exactly 210 Followers off for my account (25383 instead of 25593 in Insights).
Extract from my Code (Python 3.6.3 & every pip install up-to-date):
followers = bot.get_user_followers(args.u)
with open(followerfile, "w") as file:
for user_id in followers:
file.write(user_id + "\n")
followercount=followercount+1
I usually scrape my own not_following_back users and i noticed that the bot unfollowed some people who I am sure where following me back. So i wrote the above script to write the followers into a File and voila: I saw that the exact number of 210 followers where missing.
EDIT: There are no duplicates in this File and the Bot took the usual Pause when scraping more than 20000. The counter counting up, shows the right amount of Followers tho.
