Did you get a valid session id and put that in your config file as described in the documentation?

With debug enabled we see partial response body too:

Details Type: HttpException Code: 401 Message: https://www.instagram.com/web/search/topsearch/?query=aesoprockwins resulted in 401 Unauthorized {"message":"Server Error","status":"fail"} File: lib/http.php Line: 26

the instagrambridge is same as twitter making it harder and harder to scrape

as far as i can tell instagram bridge doesnt work at all without the configured session_id and ds_user_id
