Code

A meaningful section of your code (else delete this). If you are using TypeScript replace js with typescript.

import { IgApiClient } from 'instagram-private-api';

const ig = new IgApiClient();
ig.state.generateDevice(process.env.IG_USERNAME);
ig.state.proxyUrl = process.env.IG_PROXY;
(async () => {
    await ig.simulate.preLoginFlow();
    const loggedInUser = await ig.account.login("", "");
    process.nextTick(async () => await ig.simulate.postLoginFlow());
    try {
        let id = await ig.user.getIdByUsername("efalrk");
        let usersFollowers = await ig.feed.accountFollowing(id).items()

        console.log(usersFollowers)
    } catch (e) {
        console.log("Error: " + e)
    }
})();

async function searchFolowing(username) {
    let id = await ig.user.getIdByUsername(username);
    let usersFollowers = await ig.feed.accountFollowing(id).items()

    console.log(usersFollowers)
}

Error and Output

It seems that you can only get all the followers of your own account, right? Can’t you get all the followers of other people?

I want to get followers of other people's accounts with their usernames, is this possible?

I tested it and it seems that this API can only get one page of data~ because there is no nextMaxId in the returned data.
