Describe the Bug/Error:

I am trying to get the names of all viewers of a story, but for some reason the story_viewers() method only returns 20. Is there a way to get the full list of viewers?

---

Paste the output of python -V here:

Code:

from instagram_private_api import Client, ClientCompatPatch

user_name = 'XXXXX'
password = 'XXXXXXX'

api = Client(user_name, password)
userid = api.authenticated_user_id
results = api.feed_timeline()
items = results.get('items', [])
# print(api.user_story_feed(userid).get('items', []))
story = api.story_viewers(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX).get('users',[])
print(len(story))

Error/Debug Log:

The output is 20

Hi @kritonpc

Check https://instagram-private-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#instagram_private_api.Client.story_viewers

should work something like this story = api.story_viewers(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) next_story = api.story_viewers(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, max_id=story['next_max_id'])
