Hi everyone, When I lunch the app with the terminal "python instadb.py espn"... I get [!] https://www.instagram.com/espn/media/ is 404 and same happens for other accounts. How can I fix it?

Thank you

Same problem in here! I tried to change base url but this time I got an error for "bad json". Can you help @spambusters ?

@lucap96 @silverstone1903 this script uses the endpoint /media, such as https://www.instagram.com/user/media/, but this was made inaccessible to the public about a month ago (it now requires an API key). I need to rewrite this script to utilize the alternative ?__a=1 format, although there will likely be reduced functionality in regards to the actual downloading of the media. However the database functionality should still be the same. I'll look into implementing some fixes.
