Specifically it says HttpError: '400 Bad Request' for 'https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/ajax/'. What's 'ajax' supposed to mean? That's not my username...

Thank you. I'll make the necessary changes to my config file later.

Is this a valid sessionid for instagram? I got it from the cookies.txt, but the % signs are throwing me off.

Looks OK. Mine has the form "<digits>%3A<letters>%3A16,
and %3A is just an URL encoded : character.

Also why don't you just try it out? Nothing bad is going to happen if it doesn't work. You'll just get an error message when you try to access posts from private accounts without a valid sessionid cookie.

I guess I want to save myself future headaches. But if yours is the same way, it should be fine. I'll close this issue again.
