When I am trying to fetch user_info via user_info2 method in web_api, I am getting error. It works fine in the initial request, but not in the following requests. Here is the code and the response I get. I also faced the issue when I try in the browser as well. I think Instagram has updated its API. Anyone encountering this bug?
