Some accounts return no_items / Empty or private data

Some instagram accounts work fine, but others are returning no_items:

[ { "error": "no_items", "errorDescription": "Empty or private data for provided input" } ]

For example: @bramchi works fine, @maladmz doesn't.

I don't understand why. Can anyone clarify why this is happening?

Hi!

In your run input is for getting 1 post and skipping pinned posts, so the first post in the profile feed is "pinned", It is skipped, meanwhile results limit (one) is reached, and scraping is done. Error is not logically correct but use case is too rare to add specific error.

I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we could help with, please let us know.
