It sounds like a great idea but I'm getting the following:
{"code": 403, "error_type": "OAuthForbiddenException", "error_message": "You are not a sandbox user of this client"}
@liam_bowers Yeah, Instagram API changes :( I'll resubmit it, but not sure that it'll meet the new API guidelines.

"Share or add your email to get the full list of results!"
That's such a bait and switch. I already gave you my trust by handing over OAuth access, now you want more of my data instead of holding up your end of the deal. This is not ok and we should discourage this kind of behavior. It's a marketing website for your main product and you already had my attention, but then you forfeited it.
This could lead to some delightful or awkward realizations. 😊
Here are my results:
P.S. Likecreeper is still one of my favorite Instagram apps. So troll.
@moravtchik Agreed, I think it's fascinating to see for Instagram and elsewhere. I've written scripts for myself before just to see more stats than what the networks normally provide.
Interesting thought: does the favorite measuring start all of your friends with your 1st photo?
It'd be more interesting if each friend's first like was the start of their best buddies test.
If you've been on Instagram for years and a good friend recently joined and has liked all your photos since they joined, their statistic should be 100%, not some small number.
@rometty_ It goes back up to 60 photos, which was kind of the sweet spot between taking too long to process and having enough data to do a decent-enough analysis.
That setup would be interesting -- main things that would make it a bit more difficult to do is:
1. I don't think Instagram's API provides info on when you connected with another user
2. It would require some sort of weighting for likes because one new friend liking one photo would be 100%, but that shouldn't be valued the same as a friend that's seen 50 photos and only liked 45 of them (100% vs 90% but a big difference in photos viewed).
@tylerpearson@rometty_ totally understandable. I feel like every project has a perfect version that requires ridiculous diminishing returns. You really hit the sweet spot of complexity and app speed! :)

Not sure if it's just me, but this webapp does not work. Maybe it's PH overloaded, but at this point it seems like a weird ad for a competing service.
@dshaw_ Sorry about that, I was busy with the day job and didn't realize how much traffic this was getting. Cranked up the servers and changed a few things, so the queue should be cleared out soon.

@tylerpearson No problem; I appreciate the response!
Nice and simple UI. I noticed this is similar to the "Admirers" feature on Crowdfire, which provides a whole suite of Instagram analytics. Any plans to expand the data you provide?
@adammash At this point, no, I don't have any other plans for building more with this particular microsite. I'll likely open source it on my Github page some point soon. Also may do some analysis on the data that's gone through the app for a blog post.
@tylerpearson sounds great. Good luck with everything!

Great idea! Processing my account now, though I think your server might be overloaded (or my account too big, doubt it). It keeps hanging in processing!
