Bug in public_graphql_request

I can't no more use methods like "username_from_user_id_gql" or "username_from_user_id". It seems to be a problem in the "public_graphql_request"

Traceback ("*" for privacy)

KeyError: 'data'

I edited public.py to write the received json from the function into a file and it looks like that:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "execution error",
      "code": 1675002,
      "summary": "Incorrect Query",
      "description": "The query provided was invalid.",
      "extensions": {},
      "severity": "CRITICAL"
    }
  ],
  "status": "ok"
}

• OS: Windows 11
• Python version 3.11
• instagrapi version 2.1.3

Same problem with body_json[“data”] when I authorize via sessionId. Temporarily switched to authorization via login:password

Same error here. Is this lib is dead for now?
