problem description

Hi!
I can't download any picture / carousel from instagram via local instance, im getting this error

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json"  -H "Accept: application/json" -d '{"url": "https://instagram.com/p/DL5lE1IueOC/"}'  http://localhost:9000/
{"status":"error","error":{"code":"error.api.fetch.fail","context":{"service":"instagram"}}}%  

curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"url": 
  "https://www.instagram.com/p/DLsYhQ1N5xA/?igsh=ZHZ1NGtiZmhkeG5s"}' http://localhost:9000/
{"status":"error","error":{"code":"error.api.fetch.empty"}}

I found out that latest version of local instance via docker-compose is 11.2.2 and for pnpm run start is 11.2.3 but cobalt.tools is 11.2.4, maybe that's the problem&

your instance configuration

no changes at all

this is caused by your ip address being rate limited by instagram. you may have to use a proxy or other ways to go around the ip-based rate limit. since this is not an issue with cobalt, i'm closing this issue.
