Possible outdated scraper definitions?
I'm trying to download my own profile, but I'm getting an error. See the output below. Note that I've replaced my username with "my-username".
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd)/download:/download -v $(pwd)/il_args.txt:/il_args.txt -v $(pwd)/il_targets.txt:/il_targets.txt didc/docker-instaloader

The contents of il_targets.txt is simply my own username.
Here is the content of il_args.txt:
--login=robsat91

--no-captions
--no-video-thumbnails
--no-metadata-json
--tagged
I'm using tag "latest" (published 05.06.22, digest 23ee5a579695).
I've tried with other profiles, both public and private ones (that I have access to with my account). Not sure if this is only me, or if other ppl have the same issue.
Anyway I can debug this further to see what's going on? Or did Instagram make any changes that make this tool incompatible?
Kind regards Robert S.
Best start for debugging is to try running the standalone tool -- see the main repo here: https://github.com/instaloader/instaloader
This one's just for the (rough) docker wrapper.
