I can't download public reels from Instagram. It works perfectly in the local system(on my Mac and ubuntu). but in server, it does not work anymore.

this is the issue. any workaround for this? if I use this cookie from my browser, it could be a problem with my account.

Hi.

The problem ydl_api_ng doesn't support cookies (yet). It's a lot of work.

However you can try (as suggested by the error message) to use the username/password authentication like in this sample file : https://github.com/Totonyus/ydl_api_ng/blob/main/params/params.sample.ini#L190-L201

Hi.

There is now a way to use cookies with ydl_api_ng. See documentation here : https://github.com/Totonyus/ydl_api_ng#post-request
