Set user & passwd field on line 71

self.bot.login(user="YOUR INSTAGRAM USERNAME", passwd="YOUR INSTAGRAM PASSWORD") # this allows us to access & scrape Instagram.

Run the script

$ python3 main.py -u USERNAME

Important

You must login to your Instagram account in order to properly scrape someone else's Instagram account. This is due to Instagram blocking HTTPS GET requests from unauthenticated cookies. Your login information is never stored. See more here and here.

Tip

You can always create/use an alt-account for the login.
