Utilizing Instagram's user data download feature, this utility serves to show you all of the people that did not reciprocate your Instagram follow and vice-versa. Unlike many other web based solutions to this problem, this program can handle large data sets of follower/following user data, and does not have to rely on Instagram's annoying rate limits.
Additionally, since this application is locally operated, the risk of your Instagram account being flagged as a bot account or being rate-limited is fully mitigated.
This application, as seen in the source code, will not ananylze any user data except for the user's Instagram followers and following. Nothing more is done with the data after analysis. An internet connection is not used nor is it required for running this program.
This program has only been tested on Python version 3.10.2 (64 bit), so if your Python installation does not end up working with this app, please install the version that the project has been tested with.
