Hello! Thanks for great job guys. I need your help. I have a profile with more than 10K posts but when I'm trying to get all medias by PageObject<Media> medias = instagram.getMedias ... I get an error as rate limited. Could ask me please how I have to use your library to come across this problem? If it possible with examples of code. I totally don't understand how I can use pagination.

P.S. I know Russian and may answer me on that. Waiting for your assist asap. Thanks

I just found this so I couldn't tell you how to solve the issue, but I can explain what it means. To be perfectly honest, rate limiting is self explanatory. I'm kinda dying inside as I type this. It's a limit of the rate in which you can send requests to a server. In this case, it would be the Instagram API, or possibly the profile/post page depending on how this library was made.
