InstagramLoginRedirectError

[42musaev]

Hello. Thank you for the project.
I try to make queries from the local machine - everything works.
But when I try to do it from vps I get InstagramLoginRedirectError. I have tried different vps.
I've read the FAQ, it says that you have to simulate a normal user. Please give me recommendations.
I am use Ubuntu 20.04 VPS

Hello!

Unfortunately I have had a very similar problem that is not currently solvable with instascrape alone. For instascrape to work, you have to manually login to Instagram from a browser so that your computer gets the necessary cookies required to make requests to Instagram. That being said, you'll have to figure out a way to login to Instagram from your remote server for the library to work properly.

Cheers,
Chris

I managed to enter Instagram through requests by sending the necessary parameters, I received the authorized status, but I do not understand how this can be used with your library

That's actually really interesting, would you mind sharing your implementation of the login script? I tried a few times to bypass the login via requests but wasn't able to find any success, I'd love to see how you did it!
