False negative for: Instagram
Additional info
Instagram is returning Not Found for known Instagram account names. It worked ~ a month ago and I haven't updated sherlock on my end, so maybe something changed on Instagram's side.
Code of Conduct
- [x] I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct
As a note, this happens for multiple (presumably all) Instagram profiles. Looking up the url and urlProbe links from data.json manually returns the expected profiles.
Hi @NukeOfficial , I've investigated this and I'd like to try and fix it. Can you please assign it to me?

Thank you, but it seems like I don't have the permissions to assign issues to people, so you'll have to wait for someone else to do so.
We typically only assign tickets for larger projects, rather than simple manifest changes --- and even then, it's pretty rare. If you want contribute, just follow the guidelines and push good, well thought-out code, and it'll be reviewed for possibly being merged.
Hey @NukeOfficial, is this issue still open? I’d love to help out if it hasn’t been fixed yet.
Hey everyone 👋
I’ve fixed the Instagram detection issue by updating the site config and adjusting the detection logic.
All tests passed locally ✅

Hello. I have just today encountered the same problem. I used it today the first time and it did not work on 2 different (currently) tested accounts.
Yes, they haven't merged my pull request, so it won't work with the production code yet. It is working locally, and I did test before I opened the PR
Thank you @LordVader15
