How to catch limited users email? I need to scrape 2000 emails but the target user has 100k followers and it's scanning all of them and Instagram blocked the process at 35000. Please help

This was fixed in version 1.3 (#150)

Not fixed! before capturing emails the code first catches followers, if the user has 1k to 2k followers then the code works fine but if the user has lots of followers then the code first catches all the followers of the user then the problem comes in! if the user has 100k followers then Instagram will block you at around 30k while catching followers. and while scraping the emails if you enter 300 emails then Instagram will block you. if you add a limit in catching followers and delay in email scraping. That will be great.

i've been reading online where the creator says this issue is fixed, but all attempt seem false.

please is there a code or something because the command out there just starts scrapping emails non stop.

would be nice if something can be done about it.
thanks for the awesome tool.

Yeah this totally isn't fixed, I believe IG are now limiting to 200 api calls an hour per account. This sucks, but I imagine there's a work around... Could it be looked into again considering it's one of the main functions of the tool? tia
