im trying to load profile info from instagram public data, and the query is based in a list.
a big list. sometimes the profiles dont exist or are restricted. i need the query to bypass this, ignore the invalid profiles and deliver me the results of the valids. because i cant check one by one if they exist.

the bot delivered me this solution:

To make your Instagram Public Data query automatically skip restricted and non-existent profiles, add the "exclude_invalid_accounts=true" parameter to your query's Advanced settings:
Open the Supermetrics sidebar
Edit your Instagram Public Data query
Go to Options
In the Advanced settings field, type: exclude_invalid_accounts=true
This setting will automatically remove problematic accounts from your query results when errors occur while trying to access them, allowing your query to continue with the valid profiles.
For Google Sheets, you might also find a checkbox option:
Open the Supermetrics sidebar
Edit your query
Go to Options
Look for a checkbox labeled "Exclude invalid accounts"
If you're still experiencing issues after adding this setting, try refreshing all queries from the Supermetrics sideb

Hi ​@BI Ionz,Β 

Thank you for submitting this idea! Your suggestion is spot-onβ€”we know how frustrating it is when a single bad profile breaks a huge list.

I'm happy to confirm we've moved this idea to Development! πŸŽ‰

We recognize this is a key quality-of-life feature, and a platform-wide solution for Invalid Account Handling is actively being built right now. This will enable your queries (including those for Instagram Public Data) to automatically bypass restricted or non-existent profiles, ensuring you get data for all the valid ones.

We expect this functionality to be released sometime in Q4 this year. We'll update the thread here once it's live!Β πŸ˜‡
