no, that shows everything working correctly : )

[famosofficial]

sorry the last example was without setting the custom search ( but still didn't scrape right as you can see)
but
here's an example with the custom search set at "followersof"
:
Search: https://www.instagram.com/famosofficial/?hl=en: 5000
Perform custom search
Setup custom search controller
One search stage detected, setting default per item per stage value to max: 5000
Custom search run: search: https://www.instagram.com/famosofficial/?hl=en
Perform custom search: #chain/total: 1/1 using: famosofficial
Start search: FollowersOf with: https://www.instagram.com/famosofficial/?hl=en using: famosofficial

If this her scenario is correct i have it set to scrape 5000 of an account that has 85 million followers
so either way can't be right

you will not be able to scrape 85million.

[famosofficial]

so are you saying that once you scrape a certain amount on an account it won't scrap anymore ?
so if you've scraped that account before it will will go over the same number but doesn't it account for new followers ? which Taylor Swift gets hundreds of new followers everyday?

[martin@rootjazz]

no. I am saying that the program maybe the correct call, Instagram did not return the correct / expect results, they sent something else I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY SENT TO YOUR REQUEST, it will be in your logs.


It might say "we think you are a bot, so we are not sending the results", it could say "your request was wrong" I don't know. IT IS IN YOUR LOGS.

There isn't much point in me GUESSING what the issue is, the answer is in your logs. Guessing is a waste of time
