Instagram results not showing in Sherlock

Package version

Sherlock v0.15.0

Description

When using Sherlock to check for the existence of an Instagram profile by providing a valid username, the expected result should be that the tool returns whether the profile exists or not.

When performing this action, however, the actual result was that no output was displayed for Instagram profiles, even for valid usernames.

This is undesirable because it prevents users from accurately checking Instagram profiles, which is a key feature of the tool.
Thank you for looking into this issue!

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the Sherlock tool.
2. Enter a valid Instagram username (e.g., instagram) and run the tool.
3. Observe that no result is displayed for Instagram, regardless of the username's validity.

Thanks for reporting this. What region are you testing this from? I've checked it with North American IP, and it worked for me. I also tried relaying Sherlock connections via Tor Socks, and that worked too. It might be that Picuki.com (the site Sherlock gets Instagram data from) is blocked in your country/network

Happened to me too. The tool seems to ignore Instagram pages.

@bytexenon I used the tool with an Asian IP, yes I can confirm that Picuki.com (the middleware) is causing this issue.
I hope it will be fixed!
