Hello.
Yesterday I downloaded from IG with no problems, but today when I tried again, I got a lot of errors instead.
I am using the latest version of youtube-dl. I login using my credentials and the cookies.txt. I also tried without login. the download fails in both instances.
I am using the latest version 1.15.3

here is the first part of the log, I have uploaded the entire file.

instagram blocked your IP address, they return this login html when it happens
EDIT: they blocked you for anonymous access ( logged still works, but they may lcok your account then )

I got my account locked as well, it seems instagram can detect gallery-dl as suspicious activity and then lock the account. My guess is by making too many requests in too short a time.

[instagram] rewrite
447488f 
(#1113, #1122, #1128, #1130, #1149)

Rely on the results of GraphQL queries instead of requesting data
for each post separately via '/p/<shortcode>/?__a=1'.

This might result in some missing metadata, and there might be some
issues for '/channel/' and '/saved/' URLs, but at least downloading
from the regular post listings should work without issues and without
getting users blocked/banned.

TODO: reimplement support for stories

Should be fixed with 447488f (See #1149 (comment))
