This solution has now been merged into instagrapi as of yesterday. A new issue has now popped up where user data public_email and latitiude and longitude and (possibly more) are now all returning 'None' even when they should be returning something. Issues #774 and #775 are likely related. Any ideas how this could have caused those?
