Instagram Profile Scraper: one profile per task, max_results and discovery_mode removed
Breaking
Instagram Profile Scraper —discovery_mode and max_results removeddiscovery_mode added the related profiles Instagram suggests for each input profile. Instagram suggests them for only about 1 profile in 8, so most tasks returned nothing more and the cost of a run could not be known in advance. It is gone, and max_results (which only capped that expansion) with it. Each task now returns exactly one profile: the one you submitted. Sending either parameter to POST /v1/squids/{squid_hash} returns 400 with The specified parameter discovery_mode is invalid.; remove it from your payload. Existing squids were updated, nothing else to change. See Update Settings.discovered_from and hop_depth are no longer in CSV and other exports. The API still returns them, always null.
