You'll get err != nil if request return 404 or if there a parsing error.

About media updates:

Media can have one of 3 types:

• TypeImage
• TypeVideo
• TypeCarousel

From v0.2.03 media has MediaList field for collection of media.

If media is carousel, then there will be a list of all media.

If media is image or video, then there will be only one media, but also, for backward compatibility, media url will be in media.MediaURL field.

Update data:

You can update media by call Update method:

media, err := instagram.GetMediaByCode("code")
err := media.Update()
if err != nil {
    // media didn't update
}

Same with account:

account, err := instagram.GetAccountByUsername("username")
err := account.Update()
if err != nil {

}
