How to scrape user ID instead of usernames?

Closed

fabshop opened this issue

I'm trying to scrape profiles using user ids, without success. It seems the input should be the same, because otherwise the actor complains, but the output is empty.

If the correct profile ID is provided then profile details are scraped as expected: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/Je6ZcXnEM0CI2KY4q (787132 ID is "natgeo" profile)

If an incorrect profile ID is provided, it is saved as follows:

1{
2  "url": "https://www.instagram.com/1149037583270282",
3  "username": "1149037583270282",
4  "error": "not_found",
5  "errorDescription": "Post does not exist"
6}

So you can continue to scrape, actor works as expected. The error message will be changed later, now its not logically correct.

Oh, I'm using a wrong ID then. I got it from a webhook call from Instagram:

2025-02-02 10:32:56,103 - instagram_api - INFO - Received webhook: {'object': 'instagram', 'entry': [{'time': 1738503175641, 'id': '17841457912191756', 'messaging': [{'sender': {'id': '1149037583270282'}, 'recipient': {'id': '17841457912191756'}, 'timestamp': 1738503175056, 'message': {'mid': 'aWdfZAG1faXRlbToxOklHTWVzc2FnZAUlEOjE3ODQxNDU3OTEyMTkxNzU2OjM0MDI4MjM2Njg0MTcxMDMwMTI0NDI1OTc0MTIzOTQ0MTg1NjgwNjozMjA2OTcyMzE0MTYwMDUxOTg4NjU4MjEyMDI5MjgxMDc1MgZDZD', 'text': '6734'}}]}]}

According to the docs at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/instagram/features/webhook/ the sender id field is:

"sender": { "id": "IGSID" }, // Instagram-scoped ID for the customer who sent the message

I thought that was the profile id, my mistake, thank you.

pd: the IG username can be obtained using the API https://graph.instagram.com/v22.0/{sender.id}
