Requirements

I’ve searched the Issues
I’ve read the basic concepts
I’m using the latest version
I’ve debugged my code using the DEBUG variable.

Platform

I’m using Node.js version 15.8.0

Description

When I run my app, the login method (see below) is executed. Unfortunately, this fails with the error POST /api/v1/accounts/msisdn_header_bootstrap/ - 302 Found.
To find the problematic part in my code, I attached catch statements to the respective method calls. As it turned out, it is the method preLoginFlow() that throws the said error.

Code

async function login(username, password) {
    try {
        await ig.simulate.preLoginFlow();
        await ig.account.login(username, password);
        process.nextTick(() => ig.simulate.postLoginFlow());
        return true;
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('login =>', error.message);
        return false;
    }
}
