Damn... that API platform changelog..
I guess that's Facebook post Cambridge Analytica. Company policy changes went into full effect.
They now seem to want to avoid any possibilities of scraping like the literal plague. A bit ironic, considering that this is all still public data (This has not changed for private profiles). The world has officially gone crazy, but I guess most could already tell..
FYI, seems like this is not working again...

Yes, the cookie solution in ff826177 worked only for a couple of days, it seems they now refined the requirements for the cookies: see comments in https://github.com/rarcega/instagram-scraper/issues/205 and https://github.com/althonos/InstaLooter/issues/157#issuecomment-379468181
Maybe these pages have useful info about the required cookies:

Is this open again? Having same problem after update to 2018.04.09
Unfortunately, the fix in 315ab3d worked for a couple of days, and now it's HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
again :(
This is getting silly, 403 again. Here is a suggested fix (tested ok): https://github.com/rarcega/instagram-scraper/issues/205#issuecomment-381866498
Thanks again for the fix. As usual, it worked for a while, and now... HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
(for a change)
