It detects a syntax error. Is there an updated code on this?

The API responded with HTML instead of a JSON to one of the requests. Not sure what would trigger it but it looks like your adblocker is also blocking a lot of requests. Try disabling it on instagram before you run it again.

did u unfollow a lot of people at once? like 10 or more? and did u do it frequently? because with this, u do have to be careful with the amount u unfollow and how frequently u do it to avoid it.

eh i think the code is faulty at this point if its causing suspensions or false outputs. for me, it doesn't give the correct output; it misses 20+ ppl in the following output but the follower output is correct.

Hi, I don't think it's working again, the code stops loading followers halfway through and Instagram logs me out when I refresh to do it again, just letting you know
