Some getUserProfile failing #300
Description
`
const threadsAPI = new ThreadsAPI({verbose: true});
const userID = await threadsAPI.getUserIDfromUsername('lukebelmar');
if (!userID) {
return;
}
console.log('userId_working: ', userID);
try{
const user = await threadsAPI.getUserProfile(userID);
console.log(JSON.stringify(user));
} catch(error) {
console.log('error: ', error);
}
const userID_failing = await threadsAPI.getUserIDfromUsername('only_the_strong');
if (!userID_failing) {
return;
}
console.log('userId_failing: ', userID_failing);
try{
const user = await threadsAPI.getUserProfile(userID_failing);
console.log(JSON.stringify(user));
} catch(error) {
console.log('error: ', error);
}`
Why are some calls failing? Is instagram caching "popular" account profiles and rate-limiting "unpopular" users? Or am I missing something here.
