Hi... I'm not sure if instagram killed this ?

Let me know if you think i've done a mistake?

I can still use it. Sometimes I get InstagramAuthException and have to confirm the new device on my phone but the library is working.

Thanks - I will give it another try , any recommendations for best use ?

The error I get on trying to log in is $twofactorAuthenticator must be an instance of TwoFactorAuthenticatorInterface

I guess instagram made it harder. Now every time I try to login they give me a prompt on my devices whether its me logging in or not. Irrespective of what I select from the options they ask me to change password which makes it almost impossible to use as every request sent leads to a password change.

I was trying to download stories with it. If you have any work around, please let me know.

If you just need to retrieve public IG profile info , and last 12 posts, check https://github.com/skmachine/instagram-php-scraper - it does not require your IG auth details and uses cloud proxies to access public data (requires subscription). Note that this new package won't help if you need to extract followers or emails (as these endpoints require authentication).

Unfortunately no. Any updates on your side?
