InstagramAuthException Error

[evah]

I ran the command php -f getAccountById.php in the examples folder and got the following error.

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught InstagramScraper\Exception\InstagramAuthException: Something went wrong. Please report issue. in /development/work/image_analysis/porsche/instagram-php-scraper/src/InstagramScraper/Instagram.php:1056

got the same error today

[andriy063]

the same error when I try to login

$instagram = \InstagramScraper\Instagram::withCredentials('login', 'pwd', __DIR__.'/cache');
$instagram->login();

Instagram is blocking auth request through security reasons

Here is what I got when I tried to access my account in browser: https://imgur.com/a/LN4Qg

I was able to fix this using the official Instagram app. Just open the app (assuming it is logged into the same account as InstagramScraper) and when the app alerts you to suspicious login attempts, allow the login attempt.
