When I query the Instagram public_content api for the username nasa, the returned results are for username nasagoddard


I wrote a small app to query the Instagram public_content api and everything works perfectly. I've been able to successfully download all data from several different usernames. However, I have attempted to query with the username "nasa" and the results which are returned are for the username "nasagoddard." Why would this be the case?


Solution

  • Instead of searching for "nasa", I searched for "@nasa" and the correct result was returned.
