Did you get a valid session id and put that in your config file as described in the documentation?

With debug enabled we see partial response body too:

Type: HttpException
Code: 401

the instagrambridge is same as twitter making it harder and harder to scrape

as far as i can tell instagram bridge doesnt work at all without the configured session_id and ds_user_id
