Instagram Downloads Currently Require Session Cookies
Instagram now blocks all server-side download requests that don't include a valid logged-in session. As a result, downloads may fail with a "rate limit" or "login required" error until session cookies are configured.
If you are the site owner: Export your Instagram cookies using a browser extension such as "Get cookies.txt LOCALLY", then add the file contents as the INSTAGRAM_COOKIES secret in your Replit environment settings. This is the same one-time setup used for YouTube cookies and will restore Instagram downloads immediately.
