Like youtube-dl --cookies cookies.txt URL
? That gives the same " HTTP Error 404: Not Found (caused by HTTPError()) " error.
Try opening the page in your browser, if you can stomach Instagram:
Sorry, this page isn't available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed. Go back to Instagram.
So that would explain why yt-dl can't load the page.
Wait, it doesn't open for you? That's odd because the link works fine in my browser (Firefox)... Alright, I tried on Opera (and later on Firefox after logging out) and it doesn't load for some reason when I'm not logged in. Even though the account and the thumbnail of the video are perfectly visible.
So, Instagram apparently works in mysterious ways and the bug is not at the youtube-dl end. I might try doing a logged in download then.
@Esoppant i'm still getting the error from instagram (for this video) even when doing a logged-in download 🤷🏽♂️
if you've attempted it yet, were able to get your vid to download?

Nope, this time it's giving an "HTTP 506" error. But for some reason, another video with the same error I had tried before now works normally (and is visible without logging in). Maybe Instagram is moving around servers or something.

but the same error occurs on youtube-dl too
@tucomel Please do not post irrelevant log here.
I have updated PR #29751 to accept this type of URL https://www.instagram.com/marvelskies.fc/reel/CWqAgUZgCku/ as Instagram URL. Unfortunately, you won't be able to get new youtube-dl release any time soon, so you have to modify the code by yourself if you need this.
Edit: It seems that yt-dlp will fix this problem in the next release. You may want to wait for it.

Description
Certain instagram reels seem to be giving the above error. It happens on videos from various public channels and on URLs with no special characters. It doesn't seem to be channel-specific either as some reels from the same channel can download fine. Edit: I should point out that I'm using the youtube-dl.exe for Windows on the command prompt.
