account_following limited to 40 entries
Hi,
Not sure whether I've some issue, or it is located on the instance (I use mastodon.social), but when I call account_following, I only get 40 entries. And my profile has more than 500.
In [14]: u = tt.mastodon.account_following(id=tt.me.id)
In [15]: len(u)
Out[15]: 40
I tried to set limit as None, but it didn't change much.
Here is my profile at mastodon where you can see it has much higher number of followings:
And I tried to increase by limit.
In [16]: u = tt.mastodon.account_following(id=tt.me.id, limit=80)
In [17]: len(u)
Out[17]: 80
In [18]: u = tt.mastodon.account_following(id=tt.me.id, limit=500)
In [19]: len(u)
Out[19]: 80
So at the least I'm getting the double as before, but it stills much smaller. Could this be related to https://github.com/halcy/Mastodon.py/issues/300 ?
I changed the code to use the result from account_following( ) as argument to fetch_remaining( ) and it did the trick.
So my suggestion for improvement is to inform it on documentation.
In [14]: u = tt.mastodon.account_following(id=tt.me.id, limit=None)
In [15]: len(u)
Out[15]: 40
In [16]: u = tt.mastodon.account_following(id=tt.me.id, limit=80)
In [17]: len(u)
Out[17]: 80
In [18]: u = tt.mastodon.account_following(id=tt.me.id, limit=500)
In [19]: len(u)
Out[19]: 80
In [20]: u2 = tt.mastodon.fetch_remaining(u)
In [21]: len(u2)
Out[21]: 525
