[BUG] Private API for searching hashtags throws a validation error

[Overk1lls]

Describe the bug I need to search for hashtags on Instagram. At first, I tried using the Public API, but it seems not working (the same problem as described here). Then I switched to using the private API endpoint (/tags/search/). But every time I get a successful response from Instagram (logs checking), the validation error pops up (and my API returns 400/500 as a result):

{
  "detail": "1 validation error for Hashtag\nid\n  Input should be a valid string [type=string_type, input_value=17843993695028891, input_type=int]\n    For further information visit https://errors.pydantic.dev/2.5/v/string_type"
}

I checked the Hashtag model and its id property has str type, while getting the int type (e.g. 17843993695028891):

[
  {
    "id": 17843915557058484,
    "name": "restaurant",
    "media_count": 65043150,
    "profile_pic_url": null
  },
]

So I updated the type from str to str | int and it started working without any exceptions:

class Hashtag(BaseModel):
    id: str | int

I thought you guys might have a look at this and change/update or give some kind of answer/clarification to this.

To Reproduce I have an endpoint to search for hashtags, something like this:

async def get_hashtags(
  query: Annotated[str, Query(min_length=1)],
  db: Session = Depends(get_db),
) -> list[Hashtag]:
  try:
    cl = Client()
    // ... proxy, session, etc...

    hashtags = cl.search_hashtags(query)
    hashtags = sorted(hashtags, key=lambda x: x.media_count or 0, reverse=True)

    return hashtags
  except Exception as e:
    raise HTTPException(400, str(e))

Traceback

Yeah, it seems working now. Thanks for the answer!
