Instagram-private-api: Unhandled rejection OnlyRankedItemsError: Tag has only ranked items to show, due to blocked content

[guilhermefalcao]

I'm trying to use Feed.TaggedMedia(session, 'yocale') but for some hashtags I'm getting Unhandled rejection OnlyRankedItemsError: Tag has only ranked items to show, due to blocked content

Here is my code:

app.get('/insta', function (req, res) {

    // And go for login
    Client.Session.create(device, storage, 'username', 'password')
      .then(function (session) {
        feed = new Client.Feed.TaggedMedia(session, 'yocale');
        Promise.map(_.range(0, 20), function () {
          return feed.get();
        }).then(function (results) {
          var media = _.flatten(results);

          var urls = [];
          media.forEach(function (element) {
            urls.push(element._params.images[2].url);
          });
          res.json(urls);
        })
      })
  });

Somebody can help me with that?

Thank you.

this is happening only if ranked (most liked) post are available under hashtag. For example if instagram will detect some porn or nudity they will only show ranked and newest post stay hidden

[huttarichard]

expected behavior

[guilhermefalcao]

Yep. I understood. But how can I get the photos for that hashtag instead of an "error message" as I can do when there's no blocked content. I want to get all photos that Instagram allows me to get.

Thank you : )

@guilhermefalcao pick another hashtag and should work

This exception is also thrown when the tag has so few posts that all items are returned in the first query. client/v1/feeds/tagged-media.js#L33 should be changed to:

if (!that.moreAvailable && !_.isEmpty(data.ranked_items) && _.isEmpty(data.items) && !that.getCursor())

Same goes for location-media.js

@huttarichard And what's the reason of not returning ranked items?

[omarchehab98]

@huttarichard is there a reason ranked_items is not being returned?

How about

// client/v1/exceptions.js
... // line 146
function OnlyRankedItemsError(rankedItems) {
    this.name = "OnlyRankedItemsError";
    this.message = "Tag has only ranked items to show, due to blocked content";
    this.rankedItems = rankedItems;
}
...

// client/v1/feeds/tagged-media.js
... // line 34
throw new Exceptions.OnlyRankedItemsError(data.ranked_items);
...
