Describe your issue

Yesterday it all worked like hell, today to test in it was my fault or not, i made a fresh installation of instabot, and runned the example file upload_video.py, and it still give me error. I read on another bot that instagram has updated its API, so maybe this error is due to this.

Hello everyone, I figured out the situation and was able to upload the video via /rupload_igvideo/ endpoint, this week I will try to implement a new upload_video for instabot

Glad it got fixed! Closing :)
