How to catch an error while debugging?

Looking for tips on how to catch an error while debugging on Google Cloud Functions.

var ig = require('instagram-scraping');
/**
 *
 */
exports.helloGET = (req, res) => {
  ig.scrapeUserPage('jcvrnd19')
    .then((result) => {
      console.dir(result);
      res.send(result);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.error(err, err.message, err.stack);
      res.status(500).send(err.message);
    });
};

So... Is a really good idea to raise this silent issue https://github.com/rzlyp/instagram-scraping/blob/master/index.js#L59 ?

This works fine for me for local or a real/VM server (not a micro service)

I have no problems running locally, but on my machine (DigitalOcean) I have the same problem

@yepMad , this happens because Instagram blocks ips of Google, Digital Ocean, etc. You need to use a proxy for to scrape.
