Dropzone Forums — Insta Login Issue

Hmm, sorry but this reel will not download for some reason. I have the same issue. It's a problem with the Instaloader library which Dropzone uses. I have already upgraded it to the latest version but that didn't solve the issue. Resolving the underlying issue with Instaloader is beyond the scope of what I can do right now.

Probably the next step is to file a bug for Instaloader for that URL here:

I've just updated the action.

Can you please do a 'Check for Updates' in the Add-on actions tab in Dropzone Settings, and it should prompt you to update the Instagram Downloader action to version 1.7. Install this update and then try the download again.

That was fast, didn't expect you to reply in such a short time:)

I've done what you suggested, getting a new error instead:

At the end of that error message it says:

Login Checkpoint required. Point your browser to /challenge/action/AXEMzPwzfXuwp2G_SxthYR2m96NHjE7JhZtb375KipBw7T71G3g5LeZU5zddW6cwc8g_zT0/AfzNzwulls2iyB3fTn9b

Try going to the URL it provides with instagram.com added to the front. So for the error output you have there you would goto:

https://instagram.com/challenge/action/AXEMzPwzfXuwp2G_SxthYR2m96NHjE7JhZtb375KipBw7T71G3g5LeZU5zddW6cwc8g_zT0/AfzNzwulls2iyB3fTn9b

Run the action again and try going to the challenge URL.
