What do you mean by changing the location ? the location of your vpn ?
Tried it again, and got a different error message:
Did a little googling, and it seems these errors are being thrown by the underlying instagram_private_api, as suggested by this issue. The diagnosis is that Instagram these errors indicate that Instagram has flagged an account as spammy.
In instagram_private_api’s README includes as a note recommending that users avoid excessive logins by caching the auth cookie.
Caching the auth cookie isn’t instapy-cli’s default behavior, correct? Is it an invokable option via the command line? If not, would you accept a pull request wherein we added this feature?
