403 Forbidden login_required when trying to publish a photo
See original GitHub issueI’ve been getting the following error out of the blue lately. Always happens when trying to post a photo.
IgLoginRequiredError: POST /rupload_igphoto/1568387737093_0_-2540390205 - 403 Forbidden; login_required
I always restore a saved session before calling ig.publish.photo(). It worked perfectly fine for a while but stopped doing so. I’ve also tried creating a new session but doing so didn’t fix it.
Did Instagram maybe make any changes to their API?
I’m using version 2.1.3 of this library.

Is there any way to detect this? I’m creating a chatbot and I need to keep it online forever…
I found out this can happen when the Instagram session gets invalidated, this can happen every time. You have to create a new session and there will probably be a challenge.
