@IrfanPatelDev
use this code to fetch public userdata by username

$instagram = new \InstagramScraper\Instagram(new \GuzzleHttp\Client());
$nonPrivateAccountMedias = $instagram->getMedias('kevin');
echo $nonPrivateAccountMedias[0]->getLink();

kindly check example folder and i hope you will never use proxy server

Thanks @Arish68 for your reply, I tried this but still no luck :(

I have same problem. On localhost works but on production server i haven't authorization. I'm using proxy.

All these problems are related to the proxy, that is why it works on your local connection because you are using your telecom connection which is a residential connection.

You may buy a proxy but it is very expansive, each 1 GB of traffic = 25 UDS.
if any one is interested in this type of proxy you can contact me.

im using proxy, using this library one year, in last 10 days, only getmedias showing error 401. I change the proxy to rotating, not sticky and all is ok now

[Arish68]

@brucekasinsky please explain your solution (proxy to rotating)

[brucekasinsky]

@Arish68

First you have to get a good proxy, for me the only one i get working with facebook is smartproxy, residencial plan. I test like five and have the problem with 401 error. There are option to use sticky and rotating.

The main difference between sticky and rotating proxies is that a sticky proxy associates a single IP address per user request while a rotating proxy assigns various IP addresses for each new request.

Same here... same using this rotating proxy

Everything was working, and then I keep getting 401 Unauthorized. Is it some kind of ban by Instagram? How this can be fixed?

[jhob101]

Use a proxy service. Instagram bans IPS if it defects unusual activity from them.

I am now using https://rapidapi.com/neotank/api/instagram130/ and they somehow manage to download account json info (I am using /account-info endpoint of this api and it returns basic account info and 12 latest posts in JSON) - and they do not require to supply any cookies or login info - but this is a paid API.. it's still cheaper than purchase very expensive proxies per GB tho
