Hi

The code is working fine if it's connected to my hotspot wifi but if i connect to my home wifi it start to return zero followers.Tried to check the status but it returns 3, i tried a different sketch with a GET command and it works fine :(

does anyone know an easy way to fix it?

Thanks!!

I have the same problem. It's some thinnk with security. When I try to open instagram page on browser, instagram don't allow me see profile information without login. I think this is the reason, why this library can't get information.

I think you can only view a profile, without loggin in, a certain number of times per IP.

I think you can see a profile without login only a set amount of times per IP.

Instagram is tracking something. Once it starts hitting 0 again, I can usually change networks and it will start working again. I read somewhere that Instagram is looking for automation that does not look like normal user traffic and placing a temporary block on it.

@RedStarGlow Actually, i set a refresh timer of 15 minutes and it's been running fine for months...
