I read somewhere that Instagram is throttling requests based from tools that use SessionsIDs?

Shame if this is the case :(

Sorry for the trouble! It's probably not sessionid specifically, since your browser uses it too, but sadly yes, Instagram does detect and throttle automated usage like instagram-atom. It's an arms race that they have far more resources for than me, unfortunately. I'll add a warning to the page.

Thanks for the info. I've been using instagram-atom for a while now — and it's been great! Guess it was only a matter of time before Instagram took notice.

Thank you for making this tool. You need tip jar :).
