Instapy: Less users to follow than requested (interact_user_followers)

Created on 9 Dec 2017 · 6Comments · Source: timgrossmann/InstaPy

Expected Behavior

When i use interact_user_followers i want for example to interact with a 400 amount from an account that have thousands of followers.

Current Behavior

It says to me 'less users to follow than requested' and i can only interact with about 200. Obviously this account have so much users to follow than i requestes so this isnt working properly. Any solution? Thanks!

help wanted wontfix

I'll change my Profilecrawl repo today to use the graphql endpoints I researched and documented here: InstaPy-Research so people have a place to start and can see it in use

Also, I'll create an issue which will have the refactor of all "scroll"-logic as a goal.
I think that will have at least a $25 bounty, we need to change this fast and it looks like it'll be pretty easy

Been asked before, reason is that Instagram stop let you scroll down after a while.
Solution is to use the graphql to extract the users followers, better to do it with a different account on different pc so instagram will not know about this bot querying the data.

Wow! Can you explain me more about graphql and how to use it for this purpose?

Sorry for my bad english, so @timgrossmann i understand this feature will be corrected in the future? I had a look at profilecrawl but i dont know to use graphql to solve this problem.
