[BUG] Status 201: JSONDecodeError in public_request (url=https://www.instagram.com/nike/?__a=1&__d=dis) >>>

Like to note for anyone with this issue, that as a result of this I swapped to making a private request instead for fetching user info:

user_info_dict = cl.user_info_by_username_v1(username).dict()

Problem for me is that with the _v1 method, I get a 429 error every time. Not sure exactly, why (I think, I already tried waiting some time and this happens on the first request, already). But that's what happens for me. So at the moment, this is not usable for me.

I also have this problem

[oword]

Yeah I get this as well.

Same here. As I understand it something changed in the JSON returned by instagram pages, so the instagrapi function that uses them, has to be changed too. I think (and hope) this will be done shortly with next instagrapi update.

That's weird that it doesn't send a 404 message back to the client. Because Instagram has patched this a few weeks ago but somehow this one got reverted but without data. That's interesting.
