I take it, the build is not working and not being updated any longer?

I just discovered this project and tried instalooter post and instalooter user - same error. It is not isolated to instalooter login.

I think this tool is already dead knowing that there's no update anymore... The Instagram API is also updated in september, and that causes other popular instagram lookup tool called Osintgram unable to work properly...

I will be so happy to know if there's another tool for Instagram lookup...

Btw, I working on an Instagram lookup tool rn. If you want to try it you can go to my github repo right here: https://github.com/iwansal64/instaf1nder-py

It still in development tho... But you can follow the instruction to install it while in development or you can tweak the code to suits your need :)

Thank you for sharing your project; it looks really interesting! I'll definitely check out your GitHub repo and give instaf1nder-py a try. It's great to see developers working on creative solutions for Instagram OSINT tools, especially since so many existing ones are struggling after the recent API updates.

Coincidentally, I'm also experimenting with a different approach for Instagram lookup and testing some ideas. I think it could be exciting to collaborate or share insights. Let me know if you'd be open to discussing this further—I believe we could exchange some valuable ideas and potentially create something even better together!
