instabot bot.searchUsers() returns True instead of value

I'm using instabot python module to work with instagram API, I'm trying to search a username but when I try It always returns True instead of result value, this is my code:

bot = Bot()    
bot.login(username="mytest_user", password="my_pass")
users = bot.searchUsers(query="test")
print "==========%s" % users

and it returns:

2017-10-26 01:23:48,153 - INFO - Login success as mytest_user!
========== True

am I missing something?

Solution

  • bot.searchUsers() returns boolean.

    your function must like this: 

    bot.searchUsers('your_query_to_search_usernames')
jsondata = bot.LastJson
for username in jsondata['users']:
      print(username['username']

    It will work.
