使用instagramy获取Ins数据时，存在的用户却被提示未找到

尝试使用instagramy库从Instagram获取IPL球队账号数据，用户名都是直接从Instagram复制的，但反复收到「用户不存在」的错误，同时伴随HTTP重定向循环报错。

代码示例 #

from instagramy.plugins.analysis import analyze_users_popularity
import pandas as pd 

session_id = "58094758320%3AcPGOQQFP3YK2sq%3A0%3AAYeC7jQGmpaEYf2il0Evg60SXDeJarTsjUjc5TG7RQ"
# Instagram user_id of ipl teams
teams = ["chennaiipl", "mumbaiindians",
        "royalchallengersbangalore", "kkriders",
        "delhicapitals", "sunrisershyd",
        "kxipofficial"]
 
data = analyze_users_popularity(teams ,session_id)

df= pd.DataFrame(data)
df

报错信息 #

HTTPError: The HTTP server returned a redirect error that would lead to an infinite loop.

1. 确认用户名有效性 #

• 部分IPL球队的Instagram账号已更名，比如列表里的kxipofficial已改为punjabkingsipl，使用旧用户名会直接触发「不存在」错误。
• 手动逐个在Instagram网页端搜索用户名，确认账号是否存在、是否更名。

2. 更新Session ID #

• Instagram的sessionid会定期失效，当前使用的sessionid大概率已过期，重新获取步骤：
  1. 登录Instagram网页版，按F12打开开发者工具
  2. 切换到「Application」（Chrome）或「存储」（Firefox）标签，找到「Cookies」下的sessionid
  3. 复制最新的sessionid替换代码中的旧值

3. 升级instagramy库 #

• 旧版本库可能不兼容Instagram最新的API重定向逻辑，执行命令升级：

  pip install --upgrade instagramy
  

4. 降低请求频率避免反爬限制 #

• Instagram有严格的反爬机制，一次性请求多个账号易触发限制，建议分批请求并添加延时：

  from instagramy.plugins.analysis import analyze_users_popularity
  import pandas as pd
  import time
  
  session_id = "你的最新sessionid"
  # 更新后的有效用户名列表
  teams = ["chennaiipl", "mumbaiindians", "royalchallengersbangalore", "kkriders", "delhicapitals", "sunrisershyd", "punjabkingsipl"]
  data = []
  
  for team in teams:
      try:
          # 单次请求一个用户
          user_data = analyze_users_popularity([team], session_id)
          data.extend(user_data)
          time.sleep(2)  # 每次请求后暂停2秒，避免触发反爬
      except Exception as e:
          print(f"处理账号 {team} 时出错: {str(e)}")
  
  df = pd.DataFrame(data)
  print(df)
