Troubleshooting

Instagram blocking execution

Open up Instagram in your browser. It helps immensely to have an actual session going at the same time the script is executing.

BadCredentialsException

Wrong password or username. Note that Instaloader will not work when you have a colon (:) in your password. Try running utils.collect_cookies() to make a session file.
