Hi! I see that now all of the sudden you get temp banned due to rate limit after too many requests. My app tries to fetch all posts of a user to display some data about them, but now it starts failing for me after a few requests. Is it supposed to be like this?

Yes, the rate limits are in effect, because someone was trying to scrape too much data from this api, this is not a dev api, prod api is getting penalized by IG because of this scraping. Please clone this repo and use a local version of this API to test on your system.
