Hello @klabertants ! Thanks for opening an issue

I wasn't able to reproduce the missing field value, it works fine for me. Can you show me what you get in profile.json_dict?

Gonna close this for the time being until more info is provided/someone else has the same issue. Let me know if the issue persists and I will reopen it 👍

post.username is nan sometimes. For example: https://www.instagram.com/p/COSzSS4DQNG/

works around : post.json_dict['graphql']['shortcode_media']['owner']['username']
