Can you make a script to find all who didn't follow back, I just need a list so that I can put that list in another script where I can easily unfollow all, or just usernames are also enough, or if you know anything regarding this please let me know.

Gathers accounts perfectly but only unfollows one, then slowly goes through accounts with the 0.01% 0.02% etc but doesn't unfollow the rest. Or sometimes it has this error linked above. Is it a problem on my end

Interesting. I've for some reason cannot access instagram from the computer anymore because password reset page does not work for me and I can't actually try the script anymore ...

It doesn't look like a serious problem though. Yeah, Instagram Will be slow 😅 what's worse is their rate limiting is not quite easy to pin down anymore.

Since there is a lot of people having the same issue, I might look into the API itself to speed up this unfollow process.

It's now unfollowing correctly after a few refreshes and script restarts, the api limit keep getting hit but after 5 mins it'll unfollow a couple more so it's ok!

Thanks for making this.

keep getting
