Hi, I just want to ask.

Is Instagramy package can get number of views of the post given the post code?

[yogeshwaran01]

No, there is no property for number of views but it may found in InstagramPost.post_data which is python dict only for video post.

Hi,
I just want to clarify.
Is it because instagram only provide views for video post or Instagramy does not provide it yet?

hi
i dont know why but the scripte with the cookies of my session don't match with my reeal number of follower.
do you know why?

this is the scripte :
from instagramy import InstagramUser

Connecting the profile

session_id = "14411687316%3Aws1A5eMHDJGl0u%3A10"
user = InstagramUser('gogle', sessionid=session_id)

printing the basic details like : followers, following

print(user.number_of_followers)
print(user.number_of_followings)
print(user.biography)

Hi,
I'm very beginner on python, I started to learn it 3 weeks ago, I try to get the number of followers in an account, it works for "google" (like in the exemple), but not when I try other name account.

This one works :

from instagramy import InstagramUser

user = InstagramUser('google', from_cache=True)

user.is_verified
True
print ('Nom du compte : ' + str(user))
print('Nombre dabonnés : '+str(user.number_of_followers))
print('Nombre dabonnements : '+str(user.number_of_followings))

But when I replace 'google' with another nameaccount, like 'tomhardy' (random example), it doesn't work anymore and pycharm write me this :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\t.mallet\PycharmProjects\Web Scraping Project\venv\web scraper.py", line 4, in
user = InstagramUser('tomhardy', from_cache=True)

File "C:\Users\t.mallet\PycharmProjects\Web Scraping Project\venv\lib\site-packages\instagramy\InstagramUser.py", line 57, in init
username, data["entry_data"]["ProfilePage"][0]["graphql"]["user"]

KeyError: 'ProfilePage'

Process finished with exit code 1

Should I have to modify something in the instagramy files or something ? Sorry for my english who's not very well, and I hope someone would be able to help me, thank you very much and I wish you a great day !
