SeoTools can´t extract all Instagram Post by hashtags

Hi SeoTools users,

as you can see in the title of the topic, when I try to extract all Instagram post that have used the #biomfauna I only get 425 of the 449 existing. Does anyone know how I can solve it?

Thanks for your help :wink:

Hi,

Yes, you can update the Instagram connector to the latest version to fix this problem. Replace the code in the file Instagram.xml, located in your SeoTools install directory/connectors with the following code:

Hi Victor,
I have changed the Instagram.xml file and it doesn´t work. If I use Post search by hashtag I get 378 post, while using Hashtag lookup I get 449. Must they get they same result?

Thanks for your help :smile:

Okey, I misunderstood. The reason you're not getting all posts is because of privacy settings. Some users require you to be friends in order to access their content.
