Direzione di ricerca

Start from getFollowersOrFollowingGenerator, which still calls graphql/query/?query_hash=37479f2b8209594dde7facb0d904896a (followers) and 58712303d941c6855d4e888c5f0cd22f (following). Read doesUserFollowMe, which already calls /api/v1/friendships/<userId>/followers/ with the x-ig-app-id header, and reuse that request plus next_max_id→max_id paging. Done when follower/following lists return non-empty edges while unfollowNonMutualFollowers, unfollowAllUnknown, unfollowOldFollowed and listManuallyFollowedUsers still iterate all pages — choose page size and pacing carefully to avoid human checkpoints.

Descrizione

Follower/following lists come back empty (query_hash GraphQL returns no edges)

Version: 1.11.16 (macOS, arm64)

What happens

Since 1.11.16 the profile lookup works again (thanks for the GraphQL fix!), but the bot then finds nobody to follow. The follower list request for a target account returns the follower count, but an empty list and has_next_page: false:

{"data":{"user":{"edge_followed_by":{"count":6269,"page_info":{"has_next_page":false,"end_cursor":null},"edges":[]}}},"extensions":{"is_final":true},"status":"ok"}

So followUserFollowers finishes the target immediately without following anyone. No error is logged, so it looks like the bot is working.

Cause

getFollowersOrFollowingGenerator still uses the old graphql/query/?query_hash=... queries:

  • followers: 37479f2b8209594dde7facb0d904896a
  • following: 58712303d941c6855d4e888c5f0cd22f

Instagram now answers both with "edges": []. The following query is used by unfollowNonMutualFollowers, unfollowAllUnknown, unfollowOldFollowed and listManuallyFollowedUsers, so those likely see an empty list too.

Possible fix

The Followers/Following dialog on instagram.com loads its lists from /api/v1/friendships/<userId>/followers/?count=12&search_surface=follow_list_page (and /following/?count=12), paginated with next_max_id → max_id. doesUserFollowMe already relies on that endpoint. Fetching it from the page with the x-ig-app-id header works in a local patch, but you probably know best what page size and pacing are safe here.

Possibly related

Our account got a "confirm you're human" checkpoint after a run that paged through a large following list via that endpoint (12 per page, a few seconds between pages, during unfollowOldFollowed). It may be unrelated, but it seems worth knowing before choosing page size and pacing.
