mgp25 Instagram-API too many API requests

I want to get all followers of two entered users. I did this but when tried the users have a million followers, for example (5 Million, etc...), I got this error from Instagram.

In my example:

-> User1 has 5 Million followers

-> User2 has 7 Millon followers

I need to get these user's followers then store two array and compare each other.

I did this but only small accounts...

Something went wrong: Throttled by Instagram because of too many API requests. Something went wrong: Throttled by Instagram because of too many API requests.

Here my code:

    require 'vendor/autoload.php';

\InstagramAPI\Instagram::$allowDangerousWebUsageAtMyOwnRisk = true;

$username = 'test_35_1041';
$password = '*****';

$ig = new \InstagramAPI\Instagram();

try {
    $ig->login($username,$password);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
if (!empty($_POST)){

    $name1 = $_POST["username1"];
    $name2 = $_POST["username2"];

    $userId = $ig->people->getUserIdForName($name1);
    $userId2 = $ig->people->getUserIdForName($name2);

    $items = array();
    $items2 = array();

    $time_start = microtime(true);
   try {
        $maxId = null;
        $rankToken = \InstagramAPI\Signatures::generateUUID();
        do {
            $response = $ig->people->getFollowers($userId,$rankToken,null,$maxId);
            $json = json_decode($response);
            foreach ($json->users as $value) {
                # code...
                $items[] = $value->username;
                //print_r($value->username);
            }
            $maxId = $response->getNextMaxId();
            flush();
        } while ($maxId !== null);
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        echo 'Something went wrong: '.$e->getMessage()."\n";
    }

    try {
        $maxId = null;
        $rankToken = \InstagramAPI\Signatures::generateUUID();
        do {
            $response = $ig->people->getFollowers($userId2,$rankToken,null,$maxId);
            $json = json_decode($response);
            foreach ($json->users as $value) {
                # code...
                $items2[] = $value->username;
                //print_r($value->username);
            }
            $maxId = $response->getNextMaxId();
        } while ($maxId !== null);
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
        echo 'Something went wrong: '.$e->getMessage()."\n";
    }
    $time_end = microtime(true);
    $execution_time = ($time_end - $time_start)/60;

    $result = array_intersect($items, $items2);
}

I think its more complex, ı need to optimize this code for your help pls... How can ı solve this problem?

Thanks Everyone.

Throttled by Instagram because of too many API requests

It means you send requests to often. You need to sleep on every loop step like this

try {
    $maxId = null;
    $rankToken = \InstagramAPI\Signatures::generateUUID();
    do {
        ****
        Log::info( "Sleeping for 5s...");
        sleep(5);
    } while ($maxId !== null);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo 'Something went wrong: '.$e->getMessage()."\n";
}
