Is there a way to see when someone followed you on instagram through the API?

My friend bought a bunch of followers for my instagram account as a prank, but I don't want a bunch of fake accounts following me. I was thinking of writing a script to remove all the people who followed me in the last 24 hours, but I don't see anywhere in the API where I might be able to see when someone followed me. Does anyone know if that's possible / know any other way I can get rid of the followers without manually blocking all of them?

Thanks

You can use this API https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/relationships/#get_users_followed_by

but this returns all the followers. Not only those which are followed you last. nor you get the date when they got added as followers in your list.

But I guess the list is sorted descending based on when they followed you in the response. So, latest followers should be on top in the response. Hopefully, that can help you.
