Hello, I have a question: can I use your library asynchronously (for example, searching users simultaneously) and not get blocked on Instagram? Will it look suspicious?

The thing is I am building a programme simplifying finding information about a person, so sometimes I need to search for information about 5-8 people, and simultaneous API calls will save a lot of time.

@ping Checked by myself, it works poorly, as I get the traceback: instagram_private_api.errors.ClientThrottledError: Please wait a few minutes before you try again.

I shall close the issue and will use only synchronous API calls.
