Same here. Mac 10.13.6. Instalooter 2.4.4. Python 3.7.3

And the weird thing is, this morning it did work with complete url's. All of a sudden it stopped working and now I keep on getting this critical postpage error.

Here's my story (fedora 31, python 3.7.9, instalooter 2.4.4, i'm login BTW): i launched a script (just a dozen calls to instalooter post) to download multiple post at once all worked. Next i tried to download instalooter user and failed in the middle. Same error as OP anything i tried was same error my account was blocked for some reason, i had to retrieve it through codes from email and phone. same error trying to download anything. instalooter logout ; instalooter login worked. Not sure why.

Be careful, though, your account might get blacklisted.

By logging into instagram? Or by downloading pictures? Who says you'll get blacklisted for that?
