Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. I used the tutorial code to scrape data from myself and putting straight in csv file, but I always got this error even though get_posts(login_first= True) The code is from the Joe Biden Tutorial and I just changed the JB's @ to myself. https://github.com/chris-greening/instascrape/blob/master/tutorial/examples/JoeBiden/joebiden.py
