I have a similar issue. Once any proxy is set it stops working.

How they know that we make API call from local machine? And not from some web server?
I can connect on Instagram via VNC from my remote server and Mozilla Firefox...from that remote server..so it is same IP...but when script do that from that same server he make problem?

This is what I'm wondering. It's actually pretty worrisome.

Are u logged in?

I mean i have the same issue, when i am trying to get images by getPaginateMedias(accountName) on localhost its work perfect(without login).

$instagram = new Instagram();  
$medias = $instagram->getPaginateMedias("anrotechnology");

BUT. When i just copy my code on prod. server i get always redirected to login page.
So i reg. acc an instagram and login in, and after that everything works without errors.

$instagram = \InstagramScraper\Instagram::withCredentials('user', 'password', new Psr16Adapter('Files'));  
$instagram->login();  
$instagram->saveSession();  
$medias = $instagram->getPaginateMedias("anrotechnology");

wow this issue took me hours today. glad i found this closed issue here which solves it. i registered a new user for login procedure only. and then it works again!

Can you elaborate on how you logged in? I registered new account and I receive same error only in production.

[nicmare]

i created a new IG user and use his credentials:

require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/vendor/autoload.php';
use Phpfastcache\Helper\Psr16Adapter;
$instagram = \InstagramScraper\Instagram::withCredentials('user', 'password', new Psr16Adapter('Files'));
$instagram->login();
$instagram->saveSession();
$medias = $instagram->getPaginateMedias($ig_user);

Hello everyone.

The same occurred to me. Locally it works perfectly, but remote returns 400 using auth.

The solution appears to be great, but I need to create an account always it stops?

Hi all

Remote I have same issue

$instagram = \InstagramScraper\Instagram::withCredentials('USER', 'PASS', new Psr16Adapter('Files'));
$instagram->login(true); // will use cached session if you want to force login $instagram->login(true)
$instagram->saveSession();  //DO NOT forget this in order to save the session, otherwise have no sense

I always became
429 - Please wait a few minutes before you try again.

If I log in with this user and check the account activity all is fine... Any ideas?

Hi guys! I have a good news but not so pretty.

Using remote server like a dedicated or cloud server you're be able to use the lib without troubles, i've tested using windows server and debian server; if you guys are trying to use a website hosting just give up, at least until we release an update;
