Hi there.

I am trying to get this script up on Debian / Python3.9 but this is what error I am geting from this simple example:

from instascrape import Profile 
profile = Profile('chris_greening')
profile.scrape()
/home/username/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/instascrape/core/_static_scraper.py:136: MissingCookiesWarning: Request header does not contain cookies! It's recommended you pass at least a valid sessionid otherwise Instagram will likely redirect you to their login page.
  MissingCookiesWarning
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sample.py", line 3, in <module>
    profile.scrape()
  File "/home/radoya/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/instascrape/core/_static_scraper.py", line 144, in scrape
    return_data = self._get_json_from_source(self.source, headers=headers, session=session)
  File "/home/radoya/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/instascrape/core/_static_scraper.py", line 264, in _get_json_from_source
    json_dict = json_dict_arr[1]
IndexError: list index out of range

Any idea how to get this script work? Thanks.

I have used instascrape not instagram-scraper. If you are using instascrape you probably missing valid Instagram SessionID.
