my code is galler-dl -u "my username here -p "pass here" "https://www.instagram.com/p/CcK2B2FJIZf/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y="`

please if anyone could help with this

Works for me:

$ gallery-dl https://www.instagram.com/p/CcK2B2FJIZf/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=%22%60
/tmp/instagram/dark.shadows.before.u/2813298538545710687.jpg

Run gallery-dl with --write-pages and post the last file it generated, so that we can see what IG sent instead of the expected JSON response.

Never mind that, you got redirected to a "challenge" page, probably some sort of captcha:

You can try opening this URL in a browser and solving the challenge, whatever it is.
