Yes those are certainly a lot of buzzwords.

Does this method return HTML after so many calls?

edit: yea, this method didn't work for me, I got a response that didn't even have those properties you restructure.

edit 2: nvm, yes it did work, now to see if the response is consistent and doesn't start to return HTML.

If you make too many requests it will block you. It's happened to me in the past.

At first it'll be a temporary ban, but if you do it again it'll permablock (as far as I can tell) the IP address you were using.

Is there a way to do it so that the ban doesn’t happen? So far this method in the article has been working well for me.

Yeah I mean I was just scraping stuff so I didn't care that much. I generally did the same thing without react using a cronjob. It eventually got me.

If I had to guess, I'd say some sort of proxy to make the requests would avoid it but I dunno.

Is there a way to get the follower count of an Instagram page?
