Empty or private data for provided input
Closed
I'm getting a "no_items" error with the description "Empty or private data for provided input" when searching for a specific string.
This string is exactly the same as the Instagram handler of the profile I'm looking for, so it should work as expected. When using a "directUrls" parameter instead of "search" for the same profile, it works. When using a different search string that's equal to the Instagram handler of another profile, it returns that profile correctly.
Hi!
The actor is based on partial searches, so as you can see from your run logs: 2025-05-26T17:25:16.718Z INFO [SEARCH]: found 0 result(s) for paroquiaamparohortolandia from Facebook Ads autocomplete 2025-05-26T17:25:16.720Z INFO [SEARCH]: found 0 result(s) for paroquiaamparohortolandia from ThreadsNet autocomplete 2025-05-26T17:25:22.274Z INFO [SEARCH]: found 0 result(s) for paroquiaamparohortolandia from https://www.google.com/search?q=%22site%3Ainstagram.com%2F*%2F+paroquiaamparohortolandia%22&num=100 2025-05-26T17:25:26.537Z INFO [SEARCH]: found 0 result(s) for paroquiaamparohortolandia from https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ainstagram.com%2F*%2F+%22paroquiaamparohortolandia%22&num=100 no partial results were found; please use the direct URL(s).
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.
