Hey Gabriel! First of all, thanks so much for followin along!
Looks like you discovered a lil bug that I'm gonna go fix right now, thank you for bringing this to my attention!!! Since writing this post, the implementation of get_recent_posts has changed and it looks like I forgot to include the timestamp to upload_date conversion. Instagram only serves back an integer timestamp that instascrape then converts to a datetime object and embarrassingly I seem to have forgotten to write that back in after the update lol
Thank you so much for your time and fast reply. I´m doing a project to make some data analysis through any Instagram scrape tool. I came across to a RapidApi instagram API, but i haven´t figured out yet how to get the data from the request module. So, it was great to find your your api, because its easy to use. If you don´t mind i would let you know about my findings.
I'd love to hear about what you come up with! I actually just opened a discussion board about an hour ago on the repo, feel free to post about your project/ask questions about instascrape on there!
Thanks for this post, i´ve tried most of your examples, however im getting this error; "['upload_date'] not in index".
When i see the columns i found the following ones:
Index(['csrf_token', 'viewer', 'viewer_id', 'country_code', 'language_code',
'locale', 'device_id', 'browser_push_pub_key', 'key_id', 'public_key',
'version', 'is_dev', 'rollout_hash', 'bundle_variant', 'frontend_dev',
'id', 'shortcode', 'height', 'width', 'gating_info',
'fact_check_overall_rating', 'fact_check_information',
'sensitivity_friction_info', 'media_overlay_info', 'media_preview',
'display_url', 'accessibility_caption', 'is_video', 'tracking_token',
'tagged_users', 'caption', 'caption_is_edited', 'has_ranked_comments',
'comments', 'comments_disabled', 'commenting_disabled_for_viewer',
'timestamp', 'likes', 'location', 'viewer_has_liked',
'viewer_has_saved', 'viewer_has_saved_to_collection',
'viewer_in_photo_of_you', 'viewer_can_reshare', 'video_url',
'has_audio', 'video_view_count', 'username', 'full_name'],
dtype='object')
I guess that 'timestamp' is the right one to use, instead of 'upload date'
Please let me know if im missing something here.

I merged the fix with the repo and am pushing it to PyPI under version 1.3.3 as we speak. Thanks for the find!
