[Enchancment] Ability to pass a .txt file

[ghost]

Hi,
Could you add an argument so it would be possible to pass a .txt file containing id numbers of instagram users (one in each line) ?
The script would produce a .txt of usernames

[ghost]

And please add a timeout between each api call

Thank you for your suggestion ❤

Is there any limitation on Instagram API call?
I don't understand why you need to set timeout for api call.

@Snbig Thanks for the quick update.
Yep, there’s a limit on instagrap api calls, and I’m not sure what is it.
You can try to call some functions 2000 times without timeout, and you will get a messege from instagram “ an error occured please try again later”.
By the way, could add anothet option to export the results as an excel file? First coloumn with user id, and second one with the username

The script crashed on second run.
I though I would test what would happen if you enter a some active user ids in .txt file and mix those with a user id of temporarily deactivated account.
Here's my input file:

input.txt:

8163012263
11216025632

command used

python InstaTracker.py -f input.txt

output:

C:\Users\Test\Desktop>python InstaTracker.py -f input.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):

username = json.loads(r3)['data']['user']['reel']['user']['username']

@Snbig any idea why it crashed?
