Describe your issue

Hi, I noticed that when I get the followers list of an user using:

var userFollowers = await _instaApi.UserProcessor.GetUserFollowersByIdAsync(userId, PaginationParameters.Empty);

the list changes everytime I call the function. The number of users in the list is always the same, but there are always users repeated inside it, and some users are missing, while when I search the missing users inside the followers list in instagram app they're actually there. I'm using this lib in a .Net MAUI project. I don't know if it's an instagram api problem or just an error of mine, can you please help me? Thanks!

@emanuelebottinelli Hi, I faced exactly the same problem a couple of days ago and I've tried everything I could, but I can't get correct list of followers (( Do you have a solution or workaround for it?

I'm sorry, I haven't found a solution for this problem yet. If you solve it in some ways tell me, thanks!

Contact me if you need a solution for it. I've found a workaround, but I had to fix a source code of the library for it.

Hi, can you tell me which is the workaround you've found? I haven't worked on my project for a while but it would be awesome to solve the problem

I changed these files in the source code of the lib. You can ask me if something is not clear. Good luck! @emanuelebottinelli

I didn't get the point with thoses modifications. You changed to request ?

And by the way, would you know how the pagination works?

fmmagalhaes commented 1 year ago

@SwipeDVM can you be a bit more clear on the notifications you did? It's hard to look at screenshots and see the difference.

SwipeDVM commented 1 year ago

@fmmagalhaes @1fini You can see on the first screenshot that I added COUNT query parameter to the FIRENDSHIPS_USER_FOLLOWERS and FIRENDSHIPS_USER_FOLLOWERS_MUTUALFIRST. Then I updated GetUserFollowersUri method in UriCreator.cs (added countParamValue there, depends on the user total followers count). Then I added totalFollowers parameter into the GetUserFollowersUri method calls in UserProcessor.cs

fmmagalhaes commented 1 year ago

@SwipeDVM thanks for that! It's still unclear to me why this fixes the issue. Can you clarify?

Would you also be willing to open a pull request to contribute to the project?

Hi guys,

Have you been able to call the function below successfully? I'm trying to get my follower's list (11K) and sometimes I get a limit reached error and most of the time challenge_required error. I think this issue started about a month or 2 months ago. Is there a workaround for this? other than adding a delay between requests

var userFollowers = await _instaApi.UserProcessor.GetUserFollowersByIdAsync(userId, PaginationParameters.Empty);

Please let me know! Thanks
