This is my medias.php code, I am getting empty array: <?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use Instagram\Api;
use Instagram\Exception\InstagramException;

use Psr\Cache\CacheException;
use Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\FilesystemAdapter;

require realpath(dirname(FILE)) . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
$credentials = include_once realpath(dirname(FILE)) . '/credentials.php';

$cachePool = new FilesystemAdapter('Instagram', 0, DIR . '/../cache');

try {
$api = new Api($cachePool);
$api->login($credentials->getLogin(), $credentials->getPassword());

$profile = $api->getProfile('cagspune');
print_r($profile->getMedias()); // 12 first medias

do {
    $profile = $api->getMoreMedias($profile);
    print_r($profile->getMedias()); // 12 more medias

    // avoid 429 Rate limit from Instagram
    sleep(1);
} while ($profile->hasMoreMedias());

/* printMedias($profile->getMedias());

do {
    $profile = $api->getMoreMedias($profile);
    printMedias($profile->getMedias());
   
    // Or with profile id
    //$profile = $api->getMoreMediasWithProfileId(3504244670);
    //printMedias($profile->getMedias());

    // avoid 429 Rate limit from Instagram
    sleep(1);
} while ($profile->hasMoreMedias());*/

} catch (InstagramException $e) {
print_r($e->getMessage());
} catch (CacheException $e) {
print_r($e->getMessage());
}

function printMedias(array $medias)
{
foreach ($medias as $media) {
echo 'ID : ' . $media->getId() . "\n";
echo 'Caption : ' . $media->getCaption() . "\n";
echo 'Link : ' . $media->getLink() . "\n";
echo 'Likes : ' . $media->getLikes() . "\n";
echo 'Date : ' . $media->getDate()->format('Y-m-d h:i:s') . "\n\n";
}
}

As I wrote in #389, it seems to be an issue related to special characters in the JSON reply from Instagram.
