Do I need instagramAPI to use the Instagram parts of your library

[mikeysan]

Here's what happens when I try to install python-facebook and instagramAPI using poetry.

% poetry install
Creating virtualenv testingfb-api-mIQnEUP0-py3.8 in /Users/user1/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs
Updating dependencies
Resolving dependencies... (0.9s)

  SolverProblemError

  Because no versions of python-facebook-api match >0.7.1,<0.8.0
   and python-facebook-api (0.7.1) depends on requests (>=2.24.0,<3.0.0), python-facebook-api (>=0.7.1,<0.8.0) requires requests (>=2.24.0,<3.0.0).
  And because instagramapi (1.0.2) depends on requests (2.11.1)
   and no versions of instagramapi match >1.0.2,<2.0.0, python-facebook-api (>=0.7.1,<0.8.0) is incompatible with InstagramAPI (>=1.0.2,<2.0.0).
  So, because testingfb-api depends on both InstagramAPI (^1.0.2) and python-facebook-api (^0.7.1), version solving failed.

      239│             return self.solve_in_compatibility_mode(e.overrides, use_latest=use_latest)
      240│         except SolveFailure as e:
    → 241│             raise SolverProblemError(e)
      242│ 
      243│         results = dict(
      244│             depth_first_search(
      245│                 PackageNode(self._package, packages), aggregate_package_nodes

Unfortunately, it would appear that the instagramAPI project is no longer available on GitHub, so I cannot query them directly about it.

Update:

When I remove instagramapi from my list of dependencies python-facebook instals just fine, which is why I'm asking if I might need instagramAPI later.

% vim pyproject.toml 
% poetry install

Hi，

This library not need instagramAPI, and I found that instagramAPI has been remove on github.

Hi @MerleLiuKun, Thanks for the update. I did notice that InstgramAPI is no longer on GitHub, so I was hoping you would say it is not needed. I'll consider this issue as resolved.
