Hello.

I have a task in front of me, to get information about the subscribers of specified users on Instagram, of course, whenever possible.

Looking through the docks, Instagram Api found that only for the current user, under which they are logged in, you can get a list of subscribers:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/follows?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

This design does not work:

https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user_id}/follows?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

The question of getting full access to the apish is skipped.

How can this be done, perhaps not through api?

Thanks for the help.

    Yes it is possible.

    For example, there is an example of a Python bot for Instagram.

    It uses the file userinfo.py - to get the list of subscribers not through the API bypassing http://ink361.com :

    first get the user through

    ui.search_user(user_name="danbilzerian")

    Then, using these lines on Pythone, the first 10 subscribers of this user are obtained, and then their nicknames are displayed:

     ui.get_followers(limit=10) print(ui.followers)
    • Apparently this does not work, at least according to the description. Work with userinfo.py (does not work after June 1 2016). - user2572457
    • @ user2572457 in May used the bot, everything was fine, now I did not notice. Try anyway, you can poshurstit this site. - Denis

    I caught the request by the fiddler, looked at it, there is nothing unusual, you can get a list of subscribers. On this and stopped.
