Hey guys,

first of all: nice tool. I love it. I have a strange issue. The follower count I get is slightly different from the real follower count in instagram (about 5-7 follower). This happens after a few hours.

Any idea whats wrong?

Best Patrick

I realise this is very old now, I'm only seeing it now. Sorry!

The data is fetched from Instagram's website, if you view source on www.instagram.com/username (www.instagram.com/brian_lough) and search for "edge_followed_by":{"count": that is the follower number that is retrieved. Not sure why/how it would be wrong!
