You have shown the sample code and what you want to do. What's your mistake? What exactly is not working?

If Instagram does not give you a list of followers via Public/GraphQL API (_gql), then use the Private/Mobile API (_v1)

cl = Client()
cl.login(username, password)
user = cl.user_id_from_username("<<account name>>)
cl.user_followers_v1(user, amount=4)

For accessing private methods is it mandatory to login user ?

So the Instagram server respond you with an empty message, wants you to make authorized (use login) requests

Yes, you must be logged in
