MissingCookiesWarning
Could you please help with this?
Hello! Instagram has started requiring a valid sessionid cookie when making HTTP requests. Check out this blog post for more information on getting your sessionid for scraping
Technically it is just a warning and you can usually get away with a couple scrapes before they have a problem but I've found after about a dozen scrapes they start redirecting to their login page
Thank you!
Hi Chis, how are you?

Hey Vagner! That's an error I'm working on literally as we speak. I think Instagram tightened their restrictions overnight or something, I woke up to this error as well. I think what's happening is every GET request is being returned a 429 HTTP status code. I'm adding more robust headers to the
requests.getcalls thatinstascrapemakes and it seems to have fixed the problem so check the officical repository later today for the 1.4.0 release and then reinstall from PyPI. Thanks for the patience!Okay, 1.4.0 is live, go try that out and let me know if that works for you!
