JSON::ParserError on user(user_id).recent_media endpoint

[mdunnettstone]

user(user_id).recent_media endpoint results in JSON::ParserError for me.

Example code @instas = InstagramApi.user('testusername').recent_media

Error response is significant. Here's a taster - can share more if wanted.

784: unexpected token at ' <title> Page Not Found • Instagram </title> <script type="text/javascript"> (function() { var docElement = document.documentElement; var classRE = new RegExp('(^|\s)no-js(\s|$)'); var className = docElement.className; docElement.className = className.replace(classRE, '$1js$2'); })(); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> (function() { if ('PerformanceObserver' in window && 'PerformancePaintTiming' in window) { window.__bufferedPerformance = []; var ob = new PerformanceObserver(function(e) { window.__bufferedPerformance.push.apply(window.__bufferedPerformance,e.getEntries()); }); ob.observe({entryTypes:['paint']}); } })(); </script>

Actually testusername is incorrect user ID. You should use numeric IDs for the requests.
As example, for my account

InstagramApi.user('serogamell').recent_media # incorrect usage

gives me the same error but

InstagramApi.user('4692075674').recent_media # correct usage

works ok.

I'll try to either implement a fix that will utilize string user IDs or implement a correct API response handling.
