HTTP redirect when downloading json file

Describe the bug I am trying to use Instaloader to download the thousands of tagged posts of a user, with the help of resumable iterations but I am only able to do about 100 to 200 a day before the json files are skipped due to a HTTP redirect message.

To Reproduce I am using the following instaloader settings to download tagged posts: L = instaloader.Instaloader(download_comments = False, compress_json = False) And the following code:

for post in post_iterator:
    try:
        L.download_post(post, target = foldername)

Expected behavior I expect Instaloader to download all three parts of the post: the post image/videos, the caption in a txt file, and the metadata as an uncompressed json file: targetdir\2020-01-01_01-01-01_UTC.jpg [Post Caption1] json Currently, Instaloader does this for about 150 posts before only downloading the image/video and caption, and skipping the json file completely.

Error messages and tracebacks

targetdir\2020-01-01_01-01-01_UTC.jpg [Post Caption1]
HTTP redirect from https://www.instagram.com/graphql/query to https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/

targetdir\2020-02-02_02-02-02_UTC.jpg [Post Caption2]
HTTP redirect from https://www.instagram.com/graphql/query to https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/

targetdir\2020-03-03_03-03-03_UTC.jpg [Post Caption3]
HTTP redirect from https://www.instagram.com/graphql/query to https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/

(does this for remaining posts until I interrupt the program)

Instaloader version 4.5.5

Additional context The reason for try: in my for loop is due to several posts not downloading due to missing images.

@Jong-Sig This looks like a different issue. Could you please create a bug report for that?

Thanks for letting me know! I created a new bug report.

I also believe that with v4.6, I have not been able to encounter this problem. But thank you, I will make sure to use your fix in case I ever face this issue again.
