login not working[BUG]

[MarcoLavoro]

If I try to execute this:
`>>> from instagrapi import Client

cl = Client()
cl.login(USERNAME, PASSWORD)`

I get this error:

`python prova.py
Status 429: Too many requests
Ignore 429: Continue login
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/accounts/login/

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Is this a bug?

Hi, I'm having the same problem. What do I need to do to solve it?

Bad IP or Proxy. Change it

according to the documentation, you can add a delay to mimic the behaviour of a real user:
# adds a random delay between 1 and 3 seconds after each request cl.delay_range = [1, 3]

and you can check if the username exists by sending a get request to www.instagram.com/{username} because the login function always return true if the credentials are false!!
