Error login 429 Client Error

[Aleexxen]

Hi, I'm trying to log in but i get this error:
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 429 Client Error: - for url: https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/accounts/contact_point_prefill/

The account doesn't have 2 factor auth. And my username and password are exactly correct. I'm using this code to test:

from instagrapi import Client

cl = Client()
cl.login('login', 'password')

Maybe I should change something in the device settings or in the config file?

Also I do not understand if it is normal that when I try to log in, the link is not https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/accounts/login/, but https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/accounts/contact_point_prefill/

The full traceback is:

Just finished grappling with this issue after trying to wait out the rate limit timer. The problem is with the user agent data in auth.py

Replace the device_settings with params from user-agents.net and you'll be good to go

[vapordavve]

Sorry should have clarified- its a website that has user agent info you can swap in. Here's the info that I swapped in auth.py

self.device_settings = device or { "app_version": "184.0.0.30.117", "android_version": 29, "android_release": "8.0.0", "dpi": "420dpi", "resolution": "1080x2183", "manufacturer": "samsung", "device": "SM-A715F", "model": "a71", "cpu": "qcom", "version_code": "285855803",

If you run into the rate limit problem again you'll need to continue swapping out user agent info

I replaced it, but the problem still persists. Thanks for the help, I'll try something else

@Aleexxen are you able to solve this issue? If yes then please provide a solution here because I am also getting the same issue but can't solve it.
Thanks in advance

@adw0rd is vapordavve answer is correct? changing device_settings will resolve this issue?

[adw0rd]

@parth23 device, uuids, proxy or region of proxy. Something of this doesn't like Instagram
