🔥 The fastest and powerful Python library for Instagram Private API 2024

instagrapi's Issues

API rate limits

I searched a lot to find rate limits of Instagram private API but there was nothing, (i.e how many requests per minute are allowed to call and how many accounts we can login by an IP.)
Do you have any reference to prevent flood and reduce risk of account removal by Instagram?

Doesn't work with pyinstaller

Probably a minor issue but something that will help me and alot of others in the long term.

Basically i tried to turn a program of mine that uses this module to an exe using pyinstaller but it doesn't work, i did some testing and using a script to just try to login to instagram with this module doesn't work when used with pyinstaller. I was getting an ImportError in both cases.

I was looking around for solutions and came across this issue explosion/spaCy#5035 and it was fixed by someone creating a hook for the module and wondering if any of you could make one for this module.

Thanks

`userr_id_main = cl.user_id_from_username('someuser')

User followers of the main user

user_followers = cl.user_followers(userr_id_main)`

Status 429:Too many requests;
How to slow down the requssts some of the users I need to check followers are with 19k followers to 192k followers.I need to set some time sleep but when I use user_followers() I don`t know how to do it.

Editing Bio

Thanks for the great API wrapper!

It would be great if a way to edit the logged in account's bio could be added! Things such as changing the profile picture, name, bio, link etc.

No problem if it can't be done, thanks.

infinity loop in hashtag_medias_top_a1

I am using the hashtag_medias_top method and it is iterating infinitely in hashtag_medias_top_a1 (average remains at 8 and never increases to 9 which is the amount)

Error 429 following followers

I get error 429. Any way to bypass it? Tried using proxy but same error.

Code:

from instagrapi import Client
import sys

cl = Client()
cl.set_proxy("http://XXXXX:XXXXX")
print("Logging in...")
cl.login(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2])
print("Getting followerws of "+sys.argv[3])
follow_id = cl.user_id_from_username(sys.argv[3])

to_follow = cl.user_followers_v1(follow_id)
count = 0
for tf_id, tf_data in to_follow.items():
    count += 1
    print("Following user "+tf_data.username+" "+str(count)+"/"+str(len(to_follow)))
    cl.user_follow(tf_id)
