instascrape.exceptions.exceptions.InstagramLoginRedirectError: Instagram is redirecting you to the login page instead of the page you are trying to scrape. This could be occuring because you made too many requests too quickly or are not logged into Instagram on your machine.

Thanks a lot for the great API. Do you know how I can fix this error?

You should get your login sessionid cookie from instagram (Using a cookie editor of some sort) and then add it to the headers when you scrape your data:

headers = {
  'cookie': 'sessionid=YOUR_SESSIONID_HERE'
}
google = Profile('https://www.instagram.com/tresorbutik/')
google.scrape(headers=headers)
