Same issue here. Xampp and VPN on localhost

I noticed that the following error appears on the web version as well:

CSRF token missing or incorrect

And there is a 403 error in the console:

Request URL: https://www.instagram.com/api/v1/web/accounts/login/ajax/
Request Method: POST
Status Code: 403
{"message":"CSRF token missing or incorrect","status":"fail"}

After a little research I came up with this solution:

Open your chrome browser developer tools then go to the login page of instagram, in the network tab find request that goes like this https://www.instagram.com/ click on the request and in the response tab press ctrl+f and search for csrf_token, copy the value of csrf go the application tab, in storage section click on cookies and insert a cookie with csrftoken name and paste the value and make it secure. now fill the login form and press enter. hope it helps ref: https://stackoverflow.com/a/74372169/1407491

This method works for entering the web version. I think this trick can solve the problem of this package.

I worked on the topic more.

First I noticed in this line:

https://github.com/postaddictme/instagram-php-scraper/blob/adfb322888f70a527e99ddc97b8e52fb1a914545/src/InstagramScraper/Instagram.php#L2213

There is a bug and it should be like this:

preg_match('/\\\\"csrf_token\\\\":\\\\"(.*?)\\\\"/', $response->body, $match);

Then the previous 403 problem was solved.

But this time the problem was with the two-step login, which I noticed that the previous version of Instagram and of course some current challenges still use the window._sharedData... format:

That the code related to it also exists on the same basis:

https://github.com/postaddictme/instagram-php-scraper/blob/adfb322888f70a527e99ddc97b8e52fb1a914545/src/InstagramScraper/Instagram.php#L2365

But with Instagram's recent changes, its HTML and JS source has been obfuscated and looks like this:

Therefore, there is a need for optimization and correction in this field.

It seems that the issue is still reproduced: Fatal error: Uncaught InstagramScraper\Exception\InstagramAuthException: Response code is 403: Forbidden.Something went wrong. Please report issue. in /sandbox/instagram/src/InstagramScraper/Instagram.php:2244

Works only with the sessionId, but not with the login and password.
